How Philippe Clement really feels about his Norwich City future | OneFootball

The Canaries boss has opened up about what his long-term future looks like at Carrow Road.

Norwich City boss Philippe Clement has dropped a massive update over his future at Carrow Road, which will be of interest to all Canaries supporters.

The East Anglian outfit have been on such an impressive resurgence under the Frenchman, with Clement originally taking over a team second from bottom in the Championship standings with nine points from 15 games, as well as losing all eight home matches at the beginning of the term.

But in stark contrast, Norwich have taken 45 points from 24 matches under his leadership, while a 1-0 victory away at Charlton Athletic before the international break stretched Norwich to a run of 12 victories from their last 17 league outings, as they propelled into top-half of the standings and nine points within a spot inside the top six.

However, with just seven games remaining of the season, Norwich would have to be faultless and hope other sides around them get twitchy in order to make a late charge for the play-offs, and while it could be possible, it’s a lot of ground to make up in such a short space of time.

So while the Canaries will feel like they have the form to still mount a promotion charge, one eye could be shifting to next season, with Norwich bound to be firm promotion candidates, provided Clement remains in his post.

And the Norwich boss has hinted whether that will be the case or not, with a report by the PinkUn detailing how Clement feels about his future at Carrow Road.

Philippe Clement insists he remains happy at Norwich City

Philippe Clement’s early success at Norwich City has inevitably raised concerns that the Canaries chief could attract interest from elsewhere.

But as reported by the PinkUn, Clement has opened about his future, insisting he remains happy in East Anglia and will show loyalty to the club, like he has done throughout his career, referencing a 16-year combined stay at Club Brugge as both a player and coach.

Clement said: "There's clearly a big vision from everybody inside the club, and I'm really involved in that.

"But I learned also in football never to use big words because you never know that something exceptional comes along the way. It's the same if I lose the next 20 games in a row, that the club also decides something.

"Let's say that we're really happy. I'm really happy here. I feel the owners are also. I feel everybody in the building also and let's continue that story and keep that.

"To reassure a lot of people, I'm somebody who's been really, really loyal in my life. In football, I stayed 16 years in Brugge. 10 years as a player and six years as an assistant and under-21 coach. Then, after two and a half years as a manager also.

"So when I feel good somewhere, I stay a long time."

Norwich City will be relieved by Philippe Clement update

All connected with Norwich City will be delighted Philippe Clement has no immediate plans to leave the Canaries, with much of their future success dependent on the 52-year-old remaining in charge.

Clement has managed to transform a club that was on its knees and destined for League One football, building a team that has shown promotion-worthy form and could well have gate-crashed the top six should he have been in post a few weeks before than he actually was.

But even if the club doesn’t manage to have a crack at promotion this term, they are increasingly likely to get into the mix next term with the way they’re playing and the fact that six teams will now be in the play-off system due to the impending changes by the EFL ahead of next term.

Therefore, there’s no reason to think why Norwich won’t be positioned towards the top end of the Championship table if Clement stays around, and that looks set to happen after his comments to the media.

Canaries supporters can begin to look forward to the future under Clement, who, so far, has worked miracles, and there will be excitement brewing over how far he can take this team after such an instant impact.
