Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink is set to welcome two new Dutch assistants to his backroom team.
The Sunday Mirror says in the clearest indication yet the 62-year-old may still be boss of the Blues next season, he's set up the recruitment of loyal lieutenants Ramond Verheijen, a sports scientist, and Arno Phllips.
Both have worked repeatedly with Hiddink before.
Verheijen, acclaimed as an expert on player fitness, has been a Hiddink sidekick with Australia, South Korea, Holland and Russia.
Physio Philips, who works for Schalke 04 and Russia, was in London recently discussing his move.
Hiddink remains publicly committed to quitting Chelsea this summer to concentrate on his role as Russia coach. But there is a belief among the Blues' hierarchy he has an appetite for the job and will stay.
