Hiddink wants Drogba at Bridge

Guus Hiddink has made his intentions known to Roman Abramovich if the club wants him (Hiddink) to succeed that he stays out of the clubs football affairs.

However, with another season remaining on his playing contract with Montreal Impact in the MLS, the Stamford Bridge hierarchy have stressed that such a scenario is now out of the question.

“I hope the fans will support the team as they did briefly also when some attractive actions were executed during the last game”, Hiddink said.

The Blues are interested in signing Liverpool striker Christian Benteke in January having missed out to the Reds in the summer.

“They have got some very, very good players who can pose a lot of questions”. For Chelsea being the big club we are, it is unacceptable for us to be in this position.

The rest of the players were given two days off so Hiddink will take charge of his first official training session today.

The 52-year-old Portuguese says he intends to get back into a job as soon as possible, but in the meantime, he will be helping “friends” in the cut-throat business of football management.

His WhoScored rating of 8.51 was only second to Yannick Bolasie (8.71) over the weekend in the Premier League, as he turned in his best performance of the season in Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Sunderland.

Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo said a “palpable discord between manager and players” had contributed to Mourinho’s dismissal, the second time he has been sacked by the club.

“It’s down to him to come in and pick us up”, states Terry. “I think his first aim is to stabilise us, so we can play like we did against Sunderland”.

More recently, he has been out of work since being fired by the Netherlands in June – during the latter stages of his country’s unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the 2016 European Championship.
