Chelsea offer Hiddink consultant role

[the wes 7,212]

GUUS HIDDINK has been asked to stay on at Chelsea. </h2> But it would be as director of football — NOT in his current role as manager.

Hiddink said: "There had to be a contract or my work in Chelsea would be impossible from a legal point of view.

"Yes, there is such a contract. It expires on May 31. They offered me to continue working for them after that date as a consultant."

Hiddink is currently back in Russia doing his other job — running their national team.

If he took up Chelsea's new offer the Dutchman would have an input on transfers and scouting.

He added: "I'll need to have a look at how the situation is going to develop.

"May be I can be useful for Chelsea in that role."

NOT A BAD IDEA

And probably join post WC after rijkaard/next manager is fired midway through next season..

That would just means there will be lots of Russians who are going come to Chelsea.

Why not just stay the scouting job with Scouts instead?>

What would a 'consultant' do?

Dont want him as a Consultant, Want him DESPERATELY as a manager though, A big name in the backroom staff is never a good idea, puts more pressure on the new manager, there isnt enough already.

What Crap. We have, Kenyon, Arnesan, Rijaard and now Hiddink as a consultant. Rubbish. Too Many Cook Spoil the Broth comes to my mind.
