Chelsea has confirmed 62-year-old Dutchman Guus Hiddink, currently coach of the Russian national side, will take over as temporary coach until the end of the season.
"The club would like to take this opportunity to thank the Russian Football Union for their understanding and cooperation," said a statement.
Hiddink, who will continue to coach Russia (he is contracted to Russia until the end of the 2010 World Cup), replaces Luiz Felipe Scolari, who was axed on Monday.
Chelsea confirm Hiddink as coach
Hiddink must be a masochist...yes, he's a world class coach and has had various degrees of success with PSV, South Korea, Australia & Russia. However he also lasted less than a year as coach of Real Madrid before being sacked, so it'll be interesting to see how he'll cope with some of the prima donnas at Chelski.
