Hiddink approached to take over at Chelsea
Russia boss Guus Hiddink has been approached to take over as Chelsea coach until the end of the season. Chelsea hope to confirm the Dutchman’s appointment by the weekend after sacking Luiz Felipe Scolari on Monday.
Hiddink, 62, who has close links with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, said if it was any other club his answer would be a straight ‘no’. But, he said, Chelsea is different because he has good relations with the owner.
The Blues take on Championship strugglers Watford in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday, and the plan is for Hiddink to be in place in time for the game.
