Guus Hiddink has said he will not coach Ivory Coast at the World Cup, preferring to stay committed to his future role as Turkey boss.
Reports in the Netherlands claimed Hiddink had agreed to lead the African side through their campaign in South Africa. But, upon reflection, Hiddink has cofirmed his stance on the idea.
"If I had signed for Ivory Coast, then I would have missed these games and to tell the truth I don't think that's something for me to do," Hiddink wrote in De Telegraaf, referring to Turkey's friendly matches against Ireland, Czech Republic and the United States.
Ivory Coast thus continue their search for a new man to lead at the helm.
Their World Cup kicks off on June 15 against Portugal. They then play Brazil and North Korea in group G.

GOOOOOAL MILAN! And what a strike it was from Kevin-Prince Boateng! Here's our match commentator with the details:
"AC Milan go 1-0 up!
"Kevin-Prince Boateng is slid through on goal on the right side of the penalty area, chesting the ball down beautifully before smashing it in via the underside of the crossbar. A superb goal!"

Earlier I asked if you all could guess which single English team Zlatan has scored against in the Champions League. The answer, of course, is Arsenal!
The big Swede scored a double against the Gunners back in 2010.
