Hiddink rumours untrue - Chelsea

Chelsea have insisted Roman Abramovich has no plans to lure Dutchman Guus Hiddink to Stamford Bridge.

Media reports from Holland had linked Hiddink with a move to Chelsea but the Blues have made it clear that billionaire owner Abramovich is not preparing a move for the Russia manager

A Chelsea statement read: "Information that Mr Abramovich is preparing to, or already has, offered Gus Hiddink a management post at Chelsea is untrue."

The statement continued: "On the contrary, Mr Abramovich is very pleased the Russian Football Union has offered to renew Mr Hiddink's contract until 2010.

"Thanks to Mr Hiddink the Russian national team has become more exciting and solid, giving hope for achieving serious success on both the European and international levels."
