Guus Hiddink has agreed a new contract with Russia. The Dutchman, whose team face England in a Euro 2008 qualifying match next Wednesday, will stay in the job until 2010. The new deal will help to reject all suggestions that Hiddink could soon be heading to Chelsea.
Russian football chief Vitaly Mutko said: "We share the same objectives as Hiddink. We will work together until 2010.
"Before the game with England we have spoken about a new contract and we have reached an agreement in principle about an extension to his contract.
"Hiddink has told me he did not have such talented players at South Korea and Australia."
Hiddink added: "I can confirm we have reached an agreement and I am happy about that. The Russian Football Association (RFU) is thinking about the future."
