Agent: Hiddink not interested in short-term deal at Chelsea

The agent of Guus Hiddink says the Dutchman won't put his hand up for the Chelsea job.

Hiddink famously rescued the Blues' faltering campaign three years ago following the sacking of Luiz Felipe Scolari and has remained in contact with Abramovich.

But the pair have not spoken since the end of last year, according to Hiddink's representative, who said the 65-year-old was mulling over a number of offers to return to the game having been a free agent since October.

Cees van Nieuwenhuizen said: "He has offers on the table, obviously, but he is not in a hurry and he is making up his mind."

He added of Chelsea: "I know they are not doing too well at the moment, but Guus never puts himself in a position that he says he is interested in whatever job if there is still coach who is doing the job.

"For him, that's not the way to treat your colleagues."
