Chelsea boss Hiddink: FA Cup good going away present for fans

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink hopes to deliver the FA Cup to fans as a going away present.

Hiddink, 62, said: "When you are starting as a young manager you have dreams. To go to the final of the European Cup, that would be the perfect scenario.

"But the FA Cup is so famous worldwide, it would be a massive step.

"If I can lift the cup for half a minute that would be beautiful."

Hiddink insists he is off at the end of the season to return to his job as Russia boss.

He added: "I'll be delighted to lead the team out on Saturday but am always looking one step ahead. For me personally, this is hopefully a big step towards the final."
