What reason would Michael have to order the death of Clemenza?

Clemenza was one of the only people who stayed loyal to him and probably continued to serve him acting as his eyes and ears in New York.

It's implied in the movie that the Rosatto brothers were the cause of his death. At least that's what Cicci and Pentangeli imply. Now it is possible that Roth put the Rosatto brothers up to some kind of shenanigans to cause Clemenza problems.
