Guus Hiddink rules out dramatic Chelsea comeback
April 15th, 2011 - 4:48 pm ICT by ANILondon, Apr 15 (ANI): Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich wants Guus Hiddink to replace coach Carlo Ancelotti next season, but the Dutchman has ruled out a dramatic Chelsea comeback, insisting that he will honour his contract as coach of the Turkish national team.
Hiddink combined the roles of Chelsea boss and Russian coach as a stop-gap arrangement after the sacking of Phil Scolari.
He has told Abramovich he cannot do two jobs again, The Sun reports.
Hiddink’s agent Cees van Nieuwenhuizen said: “Guus has never broken a contract in his life and Roman Abramovich understands that. He is under contract with Turkey for their Euro 2012 campaign and it looks as though they will qualify for the play-offs.”
Ancelotti has 12 months of his contract to run, but is being lined up by Roma as their new boss. (ANI)
