Seedorf's departure from the KNVB Board of Directors comes after extensive discussions with the board about his new role as head coach of Corinthians in Brazil. Voetbal International reports that Seedorf decided to lay down his tasks as a commissioner of paid football at the KNVB. Frank Paauw, the KNVB chairman, respects Seedorf's decision and appreciates the responsible way he handled it. The KNVB also thanks Seedorf for his involvement and dedication to Dutch football and wishes him success in his new challenge. Seedorf's first coaching job since 2019 is at Corinthians, a top-level club in Brazil just above the relegation zone, which has lost seven consecutive league matches.
