Seedorf Denies Memphis' Involvement in Corinthians Appointment

Clarence Seedorf has dismissed claims that Memphis Depay played a role in his decision to become Corinthians' manager, stating that he was already aware of the situation at the Brazilian club through intermediaries and other contacts.

Seedorf, a Dutch coach, revealed that he had been in contact with Corinthians for some time before Memphis Depay joined the club. He said, "I knew Memphis from the Netherlands. Sometimes we have contact, but he has nothing to do with my choice. I knew Corinthians before he came here." Seedorf stated that he could not let the opportunity to bring Corinthians back to the top pass. He aims to restore intensity at the club and believes Memphis will play a key part in this. "With the intensity I will demand, we need everyone," he said. "He will also participate and be one of the first to feel fit and ready." Seedorf's first match as Corinthians' manager is against Vitória on Monday.
