Clarence Seedorf claims he felt ‘very lonely’ during his tenure as Milan Coach and hit out at Filippo Inzaghi, who ‘continued to lose yet stayed on’.
Seedorf turned around Milan’s fortunes midway through the 2013-14 campaign, in his first coaching role since retiring as a player, but the Dutchman was passed on for Inzaghi, who lasted the following season despite leading the Rossoneri to their worst Serie A finish for 18 years.

“The advantage of being a great player lasts a week in the dugout. After that, substance is needed,” the Cameroon boss told Mediaset.
“I recorded some excellent numbers. Milan were in trouble and I came to help him. I was very lonely during that period, but we nonetheless built a group to record some important numbers: we picked up 35 points in 19 games, with an acceptable style of play.
“I was ready to start the new season, but the club made other decisions. I wanted Inzaghi’s luck of continuing to lose yet being able to stay on.”
