In the light of the present firing of high profile coach Luis Felipe Scholari, Roman Abrahamovich has turned to Russian coach Guus Hiddink to lead troubled Chelsea in addition to his Russian national team. Abrahamovich, who elected Hiddink as the Russian coach implored him to take over at Stamford Bridge. Other contenders for the job are former Barca coach Frank Rijkaard, and former Chelsea coach Avram Grant.
Guus Hddink did admit that Chelsea had approached him for the job, but remained mum whether he would actually accept. But the Russian Football Federation spokesperson said that Hiddink, who led PSV for a few seasons, then led Australia and South Korea to the World Cup, and led Russia into the EURO 08 semsi, would be able to coach Chelsea for the EPL and then manage Russia as well.
Meanwhile Hiddink said that Arshavin made the right choice by going to Arsenal. He felt that the deal was good for Zenit( as they made a lot of money), and for Arsenal and Arshavin. He felt that Arsenal's quick passing football would lift his game, and lead Arsenal and Russia to heights. " I can see Arsenal holding a cup already", he said.
Hope he is true!!!
