Corinthians has appointed Clarence Seedorf as their new trainer, a decision that has been met with resistance in both the Netherlands and Brazil. Seedorf, a former Dutch international, will be working as a trainer at the Brazilian club. According to Paz, Seedorf was clearly told what Corinthians needed at the moment during their first conversations. Paz also described Seedorf as a leader, a winner, and someone who had decided to pick up his trainers career again. The players see Seedorf's arrival as something positive, with the club believing he has the right leadership qualities to succeed. The key goal for Seedorf and Corinthians is to end the year with a good points total, while also looking forward to the next season.
