Guus Hiddink in London for Chelsea talks
Guus Hiddink is in London to hold talks over the vacant Chelsea job – but is unlikely to be in charge by the time they play Sunderland, Skysports reports.
Steve Holland and Eddie Newton took Chelsea’s first-team training on Friday – watched by owner Roman Abramovich- and are likely to be in charge of the first team at the weekend.
Hiddink – who led Chelsea to the FA Cup as caretaker boss in 2009 – said “it was great to be back” but it is understood a deal has yet to be agreed for him to succeed Jose Mourinho who was sacked by the Blues for a second time on Thursday.
“We are still talking, exchanging stuff, looking at the situation properly,” he told FoxSports Holland. “It is possible that we would still use this weekend to discuss. I cannot tell you more at this point.
“On what does my signature at Chelsea depend? I will not discuss any details at this moment. I first must know all and look at everything very well before I make my decision. Especially when it comes to the technical aspects of this club. I want to gain as much information as possible. We are taking our time.
“It could take hours or days before I say yes or no. It is very early, the news is fresh. They [Jose and the club] just separated from each other yesterday. I first want to take a good look. If it is great to be back? Yes, the Premier League is always great.”
Hiddink also told Dutch paper De Telegraaf he might be at Stamford Bridge to watch Chelsea play Sunderland from the stands, depending on how talks progress.
“Whether I watch the game will depend on my first conversation,” he said. “As will whether I stay in London and continue talks.”
