Hiddink rules out Chelsea

Russia's national coach Guus Hiddink has declared he has no intentions of managing Chelsea at this time. After Mourinho's exit, several names have been linked with the Chelsea job. Hiddink has been linked with a long-term interest in the job.

Abramovich could move for Hiddink to take on a long-term role at Chelsea, whereby Avram Grant moves back 'behind the scenes' and Hiddink comes in as manager.

"Roman Abramovich and I met again around the England match, we had good talks and discussions," Hiddink told the Mail on Sunday.

"I always get on well with Roman, but I am not going to give away all the details from that meeting.

"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 time."
