Corinthians appoint Clarence Seedorf as head coach

Clarence Seedorf has officially been appointed head coach of Corinthians, marking his return to the touchline after more than seven years away from management. The former Netherlands international has signed a contract running until 31 December 2027.

Renowned for his achievements as a midfielder, Seedorf remains the only player to have won the Champions League with three different clubs: Ajax, Real Madrid and AC Milan.

His previous coaching experience includes spells at Milan and Cameroon, although neither brought lasting success. More recently, he worked as a television pundit and joined Italian amateur club Sanremese’s management in May.

Now, the 50-year-old faces a fresh challenge in Brazilian football. Speaking after his appointment, Seedorf expressed his determination to build a competitive side, promising commitment, collective spirit and a team ready to fight for every ball and every victory.

The club confirmed that Seedorf and his coaching staff will arrive in Brazil in the coming days.
