Guardiola, Ancelotti and the other returning heroes AC Milan's Seedorf could emulate

As AC Milan attempts to put an horrendous first half of 2013-14 behind it, the club finally has something to look forward to after the appointment of Clarence Seedorf as coach.

The Dutchman has been brought in ahead of schedule following the dismissal of Massimiliano Allegri after the embarrassing 4-3 loss at Sassuolo, which left the Rossoneri hitting the midway point in Serie A with just five wins to their name.

The club hopes that the 37-year-old ex-Milan player will serve with a sense of loyalty and devotion, with a strong winning mentality, and with faith that he can re-establish the club as the Italian superpower it once was.
