Dutch legend Clarence Seedorf says he is ready to return to
management and it would be "an honour" to finally come to
the Premier League.
The 39-year-old former AC Milan boss has been linked with
Newcastle and Championship side QPR in recent weeks.
Seedorf told BBC Sport: "England and I have a particular story
- I was close to going to play there many times.
"It never happened, so as a coach it would be great to experience English football and fans on a weekly basis." In a wide-ranging interview, Seedorf discussed the prospects of Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Rafael Benitez at Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid respectively, as well as his own future coaching plans. Seedorf, the only player to win the Champions League with three different clubs, was also reportedly close to the Galatasaray manager's job before Mustafa Denizli was appointed this month and is viewed as a potential successor to Danny Blind as Dutch coach. "If there is a good project I would be happy to consider it," Seedorf said. "There are a lot of rumours about my next job but to be linked with important clubs is a nice feeling and it is always better to have options than to not have options at all." Seedorf's time in charge at Milan in 2014 was perceived to be unsuccessful because it only lasted five months, but his average of 1.84 points per game would have secured a Champions League place over the course of the 2013-14 season.
