“I want as much information as possible”.

Former Blues striker Mateja Kezman claimed Hiddink told him on Thursday that he had been given the Chelsea job.

Hiddink stepped in to replace Luiz Felipe Scolari for the remaindr of the 2008/09 season and led the club to win the FA Cup. “The club wishes to make clear Jose leaves us on good terms and will always remain a much-loved, respected and significant figure at Chelsea”, the statement read. “Chelsea indeed has a lousy performance and there are reasons for it”, the 69-year-old was quoted as saying by Dutch paper De Telegraaf on Friday.

“Whether or not I’m visiting their next match depends on my first conversation”.

Guus Hiddink was last in charge of Netherlands. “Then I’ll decide if I should stay in London longer”.

And the FFA announced on their official Twitter account that the former Australia boss had returned to the club.

Wilkins is adamant that Chelsea, who are through to the Champions League knockout stages where they play Paris St Germain but lie 16th in the league ahead of Saturday’s game at home to Sunderland, will soon improve.

Hull boss Steve Bruce was saddened by Mourinho’s departure and reckons the former Porto, Inter Milan and Real Madrid coach should have been given more time.
