Russia boss Guus Hiddink insists he's never spoken to Chelsea about the manager's job.

The Russia boss, whose salary is partly paid by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, has been linked to the Blues repeatedly in the past 12 months.

But he told BBC London 94.9: "That was not even close. Roman asked me to help renovate Russian football, I still am.

"It would not be appropriate to ask me for Russia and then a few months later ask me for the Chelsea job. We never talked about that."
