Guus Hiddink appointed as Chelsea's interim manager until end of season
Former Netherlands boss Guus Hiddink has been appointed
interim Chelsea manager until the end of the season
following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
The 69-year-old also managed the Blues on a temporary
basis for the final three months of the 2008-09 campaign.
"I am excited to return," said the Dutchman. "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."
Mourinho was sacked on Thursday with champions Chelsea
16th in the Premier League table, one point above the
relegation zone.
Hiddink watched Saturday's visit of Sunderland from the
stands, sat next to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and
former Blues striker Didier Drogba.
