New Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink says he agreed terms due to his friendship with Roman Abramovich.

"Abramovich does so much for Russian football that I wanted to do something back," said Hiddink.

"One of these days I will go to London. I expect to be there on the field next week."

Hiddink has given little thought to staying beyond the end of the current campaign.

He said: "There are two scenarios - it goes bad and they say 'go back east' or it goes well. But I'm not thinking that far ahead."
