Clement praises Bilic and insists he deserves more time

Swansea manager Paul Clement has insisted that Slaven Bilic deserves more time at West Ham.

Clement takes his side to the London Stadium this weekend as they look to put an end to a poor run of form. Swansea come into the game off the back of a 2-1 home defeat to Watford, with Richarlison netting the decisive goal in stoppage time.

West Ham, too, head into the match following a home defeat. Despite having pulled back two goals, the Hammers could not prevent Tottenham coming away with a 3-2 victory.

As quoted by Football London today, Clement was full of praise for Bilic and insisted that he deserves a longer period of time to turn around West Ham’s poor start to the campaign.

It is unfair. In such a short period that managers are under pressure. (Frank) De Boer has gone after four and after six we are talking about more managers leaving.

Bilic is a man under pressure following a start to the season which has resulted in just four points from West Ham’s opening six games.

I know Slaven, I met him when he as at Besiktas, he has a lot of passion and experience and I think the fans like him and his personality.

This has led to speculation surrounding his future, with links to managers such as Rafa Benitez and the newly-available Carlo Ancelotti arising.
