AC Milan hero Clarence Seedorf has urged fans to be patient with their new-look team.

Milan have struggled for form after a summer signing spree.

Seedorf stated: “When I came back as Coach, Milan were already going through a turbulent period, so change was almost inevitable.

“It's happened now, and I think the new owners and directors have clear ideas.

“They've built a team, now they have to work with dedication and strength to re-launch a competitive Milan at the highest levels in Italy and Europe.

“These things take time, although in modern football there's always less of that. Milan's DNA can't just disappear overnight, and hopefully the fans can experience certain emotions again.

“I don't mean just winning. I know the Milan fans, these fans want to dream and hopefully they can get back to doing that soon."
