Guus Hiddink is preparing his Turkey side to take on Belgium next Friday and has been speaking about the speculation of a return to Chelsea. Now considering he has said he remains focused on Turkey, there are just one or two small hints that he could be thinking of a return to Chelsea after all. I think we have to forget these reports of Manuel Pellegrini and stick to Hiddink.
When asked of the speculation, Hiddink said:
"I have heard a lot of rumours and speculation, I have told the players they must focus on Belgium and the same goes for me. I am fully focused on getting the team ready for next Friday.(Source)
I have in my career very few games. I want to do more with the players on a daily basis but that is impossible because I am national team manager. But I am not going into the speculation as I have to prepare the team and to make sure that no one can blame me afterwards saying I was concentrating on other things.
I am not going into speculation, I am fully concentrated. I demand full commitment from myself so I will not go into speculation. I am being forced by circumstances to go into a tunnel and exclude a little bit the outside world."
Now does that really sound like someone who is totally dismissing the reports of Chelsea? We all know he has been working for Roman Abramovich as an advisor for the past couple of years but I really think these comments will add fuel to the fire. I posted earlier about the players Roman Abramovich is looking to sign and bring to the club and you can bet your life that Hiddink would, in his role as an advisor, given input and his opinions about them too.
The key points here for me are: "I want to do more with the players on a daily basis but that's impossible because I am national team manager" and the other one "to make sure no one can blame me afterwards saying I was concentrating on other things".
Ok, you could read that as is and fair enough, but for me these comments from Hiddink really indicate that he IS seriously considering coming back to Stamford Bridge and NOT ruling out the job at all.
What do you people think?
