Hiddink tells Chelsea players he'll stay if trophy won

Guus Hiddink could remain in charge at Chelsea - if they win a trophy this season. The London Evening Standard says that Dutchman Hiddink has told some of his senior players that he may still have a long-term future at Stamford Bridge if they win a trophy under his caretaker leadership.

The Russia coach, who agreed to take over at Chelsea after the sacking of Luiz Felipe Scolari in February, has continued to insist publicly that he will leave in May and go back to his international job full-time.

Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck also reiterated the club's claim at the weekend that they are looking elsewhere for a permanent manager to be in charge next season.

But Hiddink is believed to be loving life at Stamford Bridge and is waiting to see what the team can achieve under his reign before making a final decision.
