Sporting Gijon have announced via their official website that Javier Clemente has been installed as the club's new coach.The 61-year-old will replace caretaker Inaki Tejada, who took over the team following the sacking of Manolo Preciado in early February.

Clemente, who has signed a contract until the end of the season, will officially be presented at El Molinon's press room on Tuesday afternoon.The Basque-born boss joins Sporting with the difficult task of guiding the club out of the relegation zone, as they sit 19th in the Liga table with just 19 points from 22 matches.
