The 40-year-old has returned to coaching two
years after leaving Milan, having been named as
the new coach of the China League One side Chinese side Shenzhen have confirmed that they
have appointed Clarence Seedorf as their new
head coach. The former AC Milan boss has replaced
Tang Yaodong on what is reported to be a one-
year contract. In announcing the deal, Shenzhen stated their
hope that Seedorf's appointment "will help to
improve the overall image" of the club, and
"attract more global attention to China". The 40-year-old's first game in charge will be a
trip to Qingdao Jonoon on Sunday. Seedorf has been out of work since being sacked
by Milan in June 2014, less than five months after
he was appointed as successor to Massimiliano
Allegri. Shenzhen are seventh in the table in China's
second tier after 16 matches, seven points behind
leaders Qingdao Huanghai.
