Hiddink ready for Stamford Bridge

BELEK, Turkey: Guus Hiddink is in talks with Chelsea to take over as manager until the end of the season while continuing as Russia coach.

Hiddink said he was approached by the Premier League club to coach the team after Luiz Felipe Scolari was sacked on Monday.

"I have to admit it's a complicated situation involving the Russian national team and Chelsea," the Dutchman told Reuters. "I must say that this is an exceptional situation. If it was any other club aside from Chelsea my answer would be a straight 'No'.
