The Mirror claims that Russia boss Guus Hiddink is considering a return to the Premier League, after acting as an interim manager at Chelsea last season.

Hiddink rejuvenated the west London club after the sacking of Luiz Felipe Scolari, and went on to win the FA Cup during his five-month stint at Stamford Bridge.

The Dutchman has turned down an offer to extend his contract with the Russians as well as a proposal from PSV Eindhoven, and it is believed that the former Australia manager is paving the way to a return to English football.

"My future remains unclear and from November 18 I could be a free man," Hiddink is quoted as saying.

"It’s flattering that the Russians have given me the chance to sign a new contract and stay with them until 2012.

"It’s a clear signal that they want to carry on and organise everything in the future of the Russian game."

He added: "I don’t want to go through with the Russian offer at this stage.

"I’ve also been approached to join the elite board at PSV Eindhoven, but I’ve turned that down."
