Guus Hiddink is copping heavy criticism from Russia over his commitment to Chelsea.

"After Hiddink went to work for Chelsea he doesn't care anymore about our national team," said former Soviet international Anzor Kavazashvili.

"I have very good advice for Hiddink," added Vladimir Maslachenko, another former USSR player and now a popular TV football commentator.

"He has a wonderful and cosy job at Chelsea and perfect relations with the club's owner. So he should concentrate on that and leave our national team alone."
