What can Clement offer the Canaries?

Belgian football consultant Scott Coyne says the most important aspect new Norwich City boss Philippe Clement can bring to the club is his personality.

Clement was confirmed as Liam Manning's replacement on Tuesday and will take on Birmingham City (15:00 GMT) in his first game in charge as he looks to address Norwich's slide down the Championship table.

"He has a reputation for being a leader and a talismanic figure inside a club so it's a really interesting appointment from Norwich's perspective," Coyne told BBC Radio Norfolk. "They've gone for experience."

Clement won three back-to-back Belgian top flight titles with Gent and Club Brugge, but it is his experience with first club Beveren that Coyne thinks will be the most vital for his new role with the Canaries.

"Beveren were not in a great position when he came in there. They were extremely low on confidence, bottom of the league and really struggling," Coyne added.

"He came in there and galvanised them and had an immediate reaction. I think that's what they are looking for immediately here, to see a reaction.

"So part of it will be about organising this group of players and just instilling some belief in them again and sometimes that's as simple as a personality change or the right words being said.

"It's the personality that was arguably the most important aspect in this because it's a group of players that need a leader and I think that's something they didn't have before."
