Former Dutch international Clarence Seedorf has been appointed coach of struggling Deportivo La Coruna until the end of the season.

Seedorf, a former AC Milan, Real Madrid and Ajax midfielder replaces Spaniard Cristobal Parralo, who was sacked on Sunday.

Parralo’s sacking followed a 5-0 defeat to Real Sociedad that left the club in the relegation zone.

The 41-year-old had handled Milan for 22 matches, from January to June 2014, and spent 14 games in charge at Chinese second division side Shenzhen, from July to December 2016.
