Nigel Gibbs and Karl Halabi have left Tottenham Hotspur to work under new Swansea City head coach Paul Clement.
Tottenham Hotspur coaches Nigel Gibbs and Karl Halabi have left White Hart Lane to work under new Swansea City head coach Paul Clement, the Welsh club confirmed via their official website.
Clement has replaced Bob Bradley at the Liberty Stadium, and will be assisted by 51-year-old Gibbs, who only moved to Spurs in 2016 as assistant head of coach and player development.

Halabi also arrived at Hotspur Way last year – having previously worked under Clement at Derby County and alongside the 44-year-old at Chelsea and Fulham – and becomes Swansea’s new head of physical performance.
Gibbs, a former scout for the Swansea, and Halabi also worked together at Reading.
Clement, who was Carlo Ancelotti’s assistant at Bayern Munich, is Swansea’s third permanent manager this season, after Francesco Guidolin and Bradley.

However, the Reading-born coach, whose father Dave won five caps for England, will not take charge of Wednesday’s Premier League encounter with Crystal Palace.
Gibbs and Halabi will face former employers Tottenham on 4 April at the Liberty Stadium.
