Chelsea boss Hiddink: I would've taken England job

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has revealed he would've taken the England job in 2006.

Hiddink said: "The England job came up a few years ago, it's true, but at that time I had already given my word to the Russian Federation who came in a little bit earlier than the people at the FA.

"I gave my word. I'm having a lot of joy working in Russia as well. England is very challenging, but I don't want to disrespect working in Russia."
