Rumors are pouring in that Guus Hiddink will be Chelsea’s next manager and it’s one of the top 5 people i predicted would get the job.
The Mail on Sunday says Hiddink has moved a step closer towards being added to the staff next summer or sooner, if Roman Abramovich can negotiate a tricky political situation in Russia, where he helps to bankroll the Dutchman’s contract to coach the national team. However, the Dutchman’s arrival will not threaten Avram Grant’s position.
That runs out next year but although the Russian FA expect Hiddink to sign another deal until 2010, it is understood that at the end of last week he told his current employers that he may not be able to extend his contract.
Hiddink, who met Abramovich while the Russia team were in London to play England, said yesterday: “We had a good meeting in London. I won’t go into details. He has a very clear vision on the future and development of football.
“The Chelsea situation is something I won’t touch right now. I am concentrating on the Russian national team. We have to qualify and I know Roman finds that very important, too, at this moment.”
