Chelsea target Hiddink may take Argentina job

Chelsea may be forced to wait for Russia coach Guus Hiddink's return.

Hiddink has been linked with a technical role at Chelsea after Russia's World Cup failure. However, he is now being mentioned as a firefighter for Diego Maradona's Argentina.

In a Dutch interview Hiddink revealed: “That would not be a bad idea, would it?

“We know each other well. It even makes me smile thinking about it. But I do have a contract with Russia, which covers the period of the World Cup.’’
