CHELSEA'S NEW MANAGER REVEALED
The English Premier League champions Chelsea Football Club have confirmed Dutch man, Guus Hiddink as the team’s first-team manager until the end of the season.
Speaking at his first press conference, Guus said: “I am excited to return to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in the world but is not where it should be at the moment. However, I am sure we can all turn this season around.
“I am looking forward to working with the players and staff at this great club and especially renewing my wonderful relationship with the Chelsea fans.”
Hiddink is presently at Stamford Bridge for today’s match as Chelsea welcome Sunderland.
However, Steve Holland, will take control of team matters for the game alongside Eddie Newton, who will now take on the role of assistant first-team coach.
Hiddink is making a return to London success after his first spell with the club in 2009 saw him lift the FA Cup with the team.
Hiddink took temporary charge of Chelsea in February 2009, losing just one league game as Chelsea recovered from a poor first half of the season to finish third in the Premier League, guaranteeing Champions League football for the next campaign and signed off in style thanks to a 2-1 FA Cup win over Everton at Wembley.
I recall that Jose Mourinho was dismissed by the board of English Premier League champions, Chelsea football club on Thursday, December 17.
His sack came just seven months after leading the London team to a Barclays Premier League title last season.
