New Corinthians head coach Clarence Seedorf has been forced to postpone his touchline bow after encountering bureaucratic hurdles ahead of Monday's domestic clash with Vitoria. The Dutch tactician cannot take his place in the Neo Quimica Arena dugout after club officials missed the registration deadline to clear his paperwork.
Corinthians forward Memphis Depay will miss Clarence Seedorf's managerial debut against Vitoria following a costly booking during Sunday's derby thrashing by Palmeiras. The Dutch talisman picked up his third yellow card of the season, deepening the relegation misery for the Brazilian giants as they fight to retain their top-flight status.
Memphis Depay has been sensationally branded the "main culprit" for Corinthians' disastrous form as the Brazilian giants face a desperate battle to avoid relegation. The former Manchester United forward is under immense scrutiny following a dismal run of results that has seen the club spiral toward the drop zone.
