Hiddink rules out Chelsea return

Reports have linked Hiddink with a return to Chelsea as Carlo Ancelotti’s long-term future is in doubt, following a poor run of form.

“I need to make this clear, I know about the whole situation at Chelsea right now. But I am not going to come to London for a second time,” insisted Hiddink.

“We can’t compare this situation and the one from last time. When I was approached before and I did the two jobs – at Chelsea and the Russian national team – at the same time, Roman Abramovich was directly involved at top level in both organisations. This time he is not.

“That’s why it is not an issue this time.”
