Guus Hiddink confirms he is not leaving Chelsea, reveals a possiblity for legends Cech and Drogba


Chelsea's most recent manager, Guus Hiddink has confirmed he will not be leaving the club following the end of the current season, ending speculations of what his immediate future holds.
The Dutchman has revealed he will continue at Stamford Bridge next season in an advisory role.

He took interim charge of the Blues for a second time in December but will be replaced as manager by Italian national team boss, Antonio Conte in the summer.
Hiddink, 69, revealed he has already engaged Blues legends Didier Drogba and Petr Cech about a possible return to the club in some capacity at the end of their playing career.


"Last week I spoke to Drogba. I’ve spoken to Peter Cech. These are what they call 'legends' in England," Hiddink told Dutch TV.
"Those guys have had such an impact at this club. This club is old, but have only been at the top level for 10, 15 years.

"Those older guys, with a good heart, feel a lot of the club. They can mean a lot. If they have said goodbye to football, and they’ve transitioned well, one of them would like to do the commercial side of things, another might want to become assistant-manager, another might want to do something in scouting... you could really use those guys."

Hiddink steadied the Chelsea ship from 16th to finish at 9th.

Conte, 46, meanwhile will not resume his three-year deal at the club until April following the end of Italy's involvement at Euro 2016 ends.
