Seedorf Named Corinthians Coach and Immediately Starts Two‑A‑Day Regime

He must secure roughly 13 points from the final eight league games to keep Corinthians in Brazil's top flight.

Overview

  • Seedorf arrived in São Paulo on Wednesday, was presented at CT Joaquim Grava and began work the same day with morning and afternoon training sessions.
  • The coach has reshaped the backroom by appointing Pablo López Vidal as an assistant, keeping Léo Porto on staff and assigning Reverson Pimentel to lead physical preparation.
  • Corinthians sit 16th with 32 points after an eight‑match losing run and Seedorf will make his official debut on Monday, October 19 against Vitória at the Neo Química Arena.
  • Reports say his contract runs to December 2027 and includes a clause that would allow termination without a payout if the club is relegated.
  • Seedorf returns to coaching after seven years out, brings a strict, high‑intensity approach and a mixed managerial record that leaves both hope and skepticism about a quick turnaround.
