Any hopes that Chelsea may have had of luring Guus Hiddink to Stamford Bridge look to have fallen at the first hurdle.
The Dutchman’s agent says the 61 year old isn’t interest in replacing Avram Grant as coach and is instead looking forward to planning Russia’s 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign.
Hiddink only has a verbal agreement to remain in charge of Russia beyond the Euro 2008 finals but Cees van Nieuwenhuizen says his man will stay on in the post.
Hiddink is best known for his success at club level with PSV Eindhoven and on the international stage with the Netherlands, South Korea and Australia.
