AC Milan legend Clarence Seedorf announced as new AC Milan Coach

AC Milan legend Clarence Seedorf has announced his retirement from football and that he will be the new Rossoneri manager.

Former Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri was relieved of his duties earlier this week after a dismal run of form, which sees the Italian giants down in 11th place in the standings, a full 30 points behind Serie A leaders Juventus.
