Russia coach Guus Hiddink has ruled himself out of the running for the Chelsea job.
"Everyone is speculating because it is not signed officially but there is an agreement between the president of the Russian Federation and me to continue," he said.
"The only contact I have had with Chelsea has been with (Roman) Abramovich about the development of Russian football."
Hiddink said he has sympathy for Grant and accused Chelsea of placing too much emphasis on winning trophies.
"If they did not put so much pressure to get two or three cups every year, I would imagine they would start to play even better," he said.
