Clarence Seedorf has been appointed as the new manager of Deportivo La Coruna.

Over the weekend, Deportivo made the decision to part company with Cristobal Parralo after the club's poor form in La Liga.

However, it has taken officials just 24 hours to name a replacement with former AC Milan coach Seedorf being brought in on a deal until the end of the season.

The Dutchman had been out of work since December 2016 when he left Chinese Super League side Shenzhen FC after just 14 games in charge.

In total, Seedorf's time at Milan and Shenzhen has lasted just 36 matches, and the 41-year-old will have just 15 games to ensure that his new side finish the campaign outside of the relegation zone.

Deportivo currently sit in 18th place in the table, two points adrift of safety.
