The interesting report of the Gol website about the return of the Dutch star/from Esteghlal to Brazil: the time has come for Seedorf to answer!
Clarence Seedorf, who entered Iranian football a few months ago as Esteghlal's technical advisor and ended his cooperation without presenting a clear track record of his achievements to the public, has now accepted a new mission: saving Corinthians from the crisis and the risk of falling!
According to Sports Three, the famous and English site "Gol" wrote about the great challenge that is in front of him in a report about the return of this former football star to the coaching bench. Seedorf was introduced as an adviser to Esteghlal CEO in May 1404; An appointment that was accompanied by great expectations due to the great name of this Dutch star and his brilliant history in Ajax, Real Madrid and Milan. His international experience in recruiting players, selecting technical staff and developing the club's structure was supposed to help Esteghlal, but his presence soon became one of the obscure cooperations of Iranian football. It was not clear what kind of concrete change the technical structure of Esteghlal made in the end.
Seedorf later said about his role that his duty was to provide technical advice to the management and board of Esteghlal; From the suggestion of players and coaches to the development of the academy and strategic decisions. He emphasized that the final decision in these fields is with the club managers and he only provides his technical opinions.
This explanation clarified the framework of Seedorf's responsibility, but the main question remained: what was the output of these consultations? Which important decision of the club was made with his direct role? Was a plan developed and implemented for the development of the academy or the modification of the technical structure of Esteghlal? What report of his performance was given to the fans?
A clear and comprehensive answer to these questions was not provided, and Seedorf's cooperation with Esteghlal also ended; without public and transparent assessment of his influence being published.
Now, in a report about Seedorf's return to the field of coaching, Gol website wrote about his unexpected choice to lead Corinthians; A big club in Brazil that is facing a crisis of results and is looking for a change of circumstances to escape from the relegation zone.
A few days ago, Seedorf was announced as the new head coach of Corinthians and signed a contract until the end of 2027. This appointment took place in a situation where he has not been the head coach of any team since 2019; His previous experiences on the bench of Milan, Shenzhen, Deportivo La Coruna and the Cameroon national team have not been able to create a brilliant coaching career for him.
Corinthians went to this big name in a situation that is facing a crisis of results and intense pressure from the fans. Seedorf has to get a team out of this situation, which has experienced consecutive defeats in recent weeks and its future in the Brazilian league has become a concern. Now his mission is no longer to make proposals to club managers; This time he has to make decisions, prepare the team and get results in the matches. He said about this challenge: "Accepting this challenge is an honor, but it also brings a great responsibility. "I am here to use all my strength and build a team that will fight for every ball, every minute and every victory."
After seven years away from the bench, this famous Dutch star has come to a team that is fighting for survival in the Brazilian league. This mission, contrary to his experience in Esteghlal, will not be carried out with the title of "consultant" and his performance will be directly measured by the results of the team.
