Seedorf is discouraged for having no offers after his spell at Milan

During his reign as

head coach, Seedorf exactly won half of his 22 matches in charge as well as collecting 35 points, the fourth-most in Serie A. However, the tally didn’t stop the Milanese giants to dismiss their Dutch coach at the end of the season.

Despite having coaching spells later at Shenzhen, Deportivo La Coruna, and Cameroon,

is disheartened by the lack of offers from Italy as he spent most of his career in the country representing Sampdoria, Inter, and Milan, blaming it on racial issues.

The former

international said at Turin Sports Festival:

"I wondered why I have not had other opportunities in Italy, I have two children born here.

"I don't think it's a racist country, I've always supported this and I think I understand how it is. There are racists, but [the country] isn't.

"If one looks at what happened, there is little basis to understand that those who arrived [as head coach] after me at Milan immediately found a team [after then leaving Milan], and I didn't even have one proposal. After 20 years in Italy... or they told me they didn't want to offend me with a proposal.”

Seedorf added on the

racial aspects

of the incident: "

Send me a proposal, then I decide whether to be offended or not. It's not only in Italy, there are few black coaches anywhere.

"I got my first serious proposal in China, I took it because I like to travel and I make every project an important thing.

"However, it is disappointing to see that after the experience at Milan, in which you do well, you do not receive a call.

"Football reflects society. I make it a life mission to create equality and inclusion. It should be the strength of the company.

"The world is now connected, there is no longer any way to keep people out. You are next to someone who does not resemble you, but who is more of your country than yourself, knows more... It was a difficult moment, I was aware of it, but I didn't think it would happen with me."
