Clement took over first-team duties at Swansea at the start of 2017, replacing Bob Bradley after he was sacked and has been given the task of saving the team from relegation.

The club said Makelele will be on the bench on Saturday’s home game against Arsenal.

A statement on the club’s website noted, “Swansea City is pleased to confirm that former French international Claude Makelele has joined the club’s coaching staff.

“The 43-year-old, who has signed a deal until the end of the season, reunites with head coach Paul Clement, who he worked with during his playing stint at Chelsea and as a coach with Paris Saint-Germain.
