Seedorf back in football as Corinthians head coach

Corinthians have appointed Clarence Seedorf as their head coach, with the former Netherlands midfielder taking on his first coaching role since 2019. The 50-year-old has joined on a contract until the end of 2027 with the club 16th in the Brazilian top flight, one place above the relegation zone with eight games left. Seedorf succeeds former Brazil interim national coach Fernando Diniz, who was sacked by Corinthians last week after the club lost seven consecutive league games.
