Even Double won't keep Hiddink at Chelsea

Guus Hiddink insists winning a Premiership and Champions League Double still wouldn't convince him to stay with Chelsea.

Hiddink said: "It would be a beautiful scenario to win both cups. In that case I will not walk away from Stamford Bridge in my mind, but I will have to literally walk away because I have my full-hearted obligations in Russia and that is not going to change if we win those two cups. There is an emotional attachment with the Russian Federation and the people I work with - it would not be a good thing to leave them."

But, with Chelsea also trying to revive their slim League title hopes, he added: "I look at the upcoming games this month and I'm excited. I won the European Cup in 1988 with PSV as a young manager, but it would be a dream fulfilled to win it again near the end of my career with Chelsea. Everyone knows that going to Anfield is like a hurricane. The atmosphere doesn't worry me, it excites me."
