Ex-Chelsea boss Hiddink keeps himself clear for Premiership return

Russia coach Guus Hiddink wants a Premiership return.

The Sunday Mirror says Hiddink has turned down two lucrative job offers to pave the way for his return to English football next summer.

The Russia coach, who spent an impressive five months last season as Chelsea's interim boss, is on the brink of leading a team to a record sixth major final.

Hiddink said: "My future remains unclear and from November 18 I could be a free man. It's flattering that the Russians have give me the chance to sign a new contract and stay with them until 2012.

"It's a clear signal that they want to carry on and organise everything in the future of the Russian game.

"I don't want to go through with the Russian offer at this stage."

Hiddink added: "I've also been approached to join the elite board at PSV Eindhoven, but I've turned that down."
