Marcello Lippi is happy for Clarence Seedorf over taking AC Milan job.

Seedorf abandoned his playing career five months early to take the job.

"Clarence was my player at Inter," said Lippi. "He had such a lot of experience as a player, winning the Champions League four times. He had already been chosen to take over next year, so it was natural he'd replace Massimiliano Allegri. I like that Seedorf started by firmly focusing on four attacking players."
