After a seven-year break, Seedorf starts afresh in Brazil: he is Corinthians’ new manager

With their season so far proving almost disastrous, Corinthians ended their search for a new manager today by turning to former Dutch AC Milan and Inter star Clarence Seedorf. He returns to the dugout after a long spell away.

Seedorf has been out of management for seven years, but Corinthians have handed him a contract until December 2027 to improve the Timao's league position. They sit 16th in the Brasileirao, one point above the relegation zone.


  • The statement

    Sport Club Corinthians Paulista have appointed Clarence Seedorf manager of their men's football team. The 50-year-old Dutch coach has signed a contract with Timão until the end of 2027.


  • Out of action for seven years

    He made his managerial debut with AC Milan and also coached the Cameroon national team, his last stint in the dugout to date. He took on roles as an adviser to Esteghal and a member of the Dutch national team's steering committee.

  • The first words

    He will have his compatriot Memphis Depay in the squad for the challenge ahead: "Accepting this challenge is an honour, but also a great responsibility. I am here to give my all and build a team that fights for every ball, every minute, every victory."
