Hiddink: I'm not going to Chelsea
-
Guus Hiddink insists he will not be quitting his Russia job to replace Jose Mourinho at Chelsea in the summer.
Recent months have been plagued with speculation that Mourinho will be moving on at the end of the season following a falling-out with owner Roman Abramovich.
Reports have claimed that Hiddink could take over, or even come into Stamford Bridge as a general manager above Mourinho.
Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon assured Mourinho on Friday that he has the club's full support and will not be sacked.
And now Hiddink has reiterated that he will not be leaving the Russian national team to accept a post with the Premiership champions.
"I'm linked every week - no make that every day - with Chelsea," said the Dutchman in the daily newspaper.
"But that's ridiculous because it's not an issue.
"They are linking me because of Roman Abramovich and Russia.
"Let's be frank, every now and again I do talk with Roman, but not about the Chelsea job.
"I am not going to be the Chelsea manager in the summer. I still have one year to go with Russia and I hope after the summer we will qualify for the European Championships.
"Then I hope to say I will be carrying on with Russia after that." -
Strange that Kenyon, on Friday, released a statement of "support" for Moanrinho and declared that the Portuguese will not be sacked at the end of the season. But was later known that he lead a delegation from Chelsea to Los Angeles to try and woo the former Germany manager...
Maybe Moanrinho will get "promoted" to Director of Football afterall he still got 3 yrs of his contract to run...
