Clarence Seedorf has been appointed Corinthians head coach and will arrive in Brazil imminently to begin work. The 50-year-old Dutch former midfielder takes charge of a club in crisis, having lost seven consecutive league matches and sitting just above the relegation zone with eight games remaining.
