PAUL LE GUEN is back in football - 11 days after leaving Rangers.

He was named coach of Paris St Germain after they sacked Guy Lacombe this morning.

And French reports immediately linked Le Guen with a move to take Jeremy Clement back to France from Ibrox. The midfiedler was signed by Le Guen from his old club Lyon for £1.1m.

Le Guen, who flopped at Rangers and left just seven months into a three-year contract, could be jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

PSG lost 2-1 to 10-man Valenciennes at Parc des Princes on Saturday - their fifth home defeat of the season - and are third from bottom in the league, two points above the relegation zone.

Off the park, they have serious problems of racism and violence among their fans. A PSG statement said: "Guy Lacombe is no longer in charge of coaching the team. That responsibility is given to Paul Le Guen and his assistant Yves Colleu."

Le Guen, who played in midfield for PSG and France, coached Lyon to three straight French league titles. He will find Parc des Princes eerily quiet since the shooting death of a fan in November.

Saturday's crowd of 15,000 was a third of the capacity and the lowest gate this season. After the shooting of PSG fan Julien Quemener, police ordered parts of the ground closed.

Quemener was by police officer Antoine Granomort after a Uefa Cup tie against Hapoel Tel Aviv - who meet Rangers next month.

Granomort, who is black, was protecting a Jewish supporter from fans shouting racist and anti-Semitic epithets.

PSG have long been accused of refusing to address racism and violence among fans.

Fans had called for Lacombe to go, and some players had also lost faith.

"I don't want to play in the Second Division," captain Pauleta said.
