Norwich City's current revival is largely attributed to the influence of Philippe Clement, who was plucked from Cyprus by the Scottish giants Rangers. Clement gave Jefte, a Brazilian defender, his shot with the club, making close to 40 appearances under his management. However, Clement's rocky patch led to his dismissal in February 2025, with Rangers turning to club legend Barry Ferguson as interim boss until the end of the season. Jefte believes Rangers should have kept hold of Clement, citing his experience and titles won in Belgium. Clement's exit ultimately led him to Norwich in November 2025, where the Canaries have surged away from relegation trouble into the top-half picture under his management. Jefte has enormous affection for Clement, who gave him the opportunity to compete in one of the most important leagues in the world. Clement's struggle to overtake Celtic eventually cost him at Ibrox, leaving Jefte frustrated that his spell in Scotland, while memorable, ended trophyless. Clement's influence was key to Jefte's development, and the Brazilian defender credits him with helping him grow as a player and learn from his mistakes.
