Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti would welcome Guus Hiddink back to the club.

Hiddink is being linked with a technical director's role at Stamford Bridge after failing to guide Russia to the World Cup.

Ancelotti said yesterday that he would be happy to work with Hiddink.

"Guus Hiddink is my friend," he said before today's game at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers. "If he has free time, he can come to Chelsea and we can train together. It's not a problem." Jokingly, he added: "Maybe I could take a little holiday."
