President of the RFU Vitaly Mutko revealed his fears that Guus Hiddink may give up his responsibilities at the helm of the Russian national team for a permanent deal at Chelsea.
Speaking to the press, Mutko said that he believes Chelsea are among the only sides Hiddink would consider coaching on a less temporary basis due to their global appeal. Mutko believes that any coach would relish the opportunity to manage the Stamford Bridge outfit.
"I don’t think he would agree to join any club other than Chelsea, not because of his special relationship with Roman Abramovich, but because Chelsea is the kind of global side that any coach would like to manage."
It is testament to Mutko's statement that the Dutchman has enjoyed such success since taking over at the club, the Russian believing Hiddink will come under increasing pressure to stay should the impeccable run of form continue.
What lies in store for Hiddink's future really boils down to whether Russia can find a replacement for him, as the combination of managing both teams would be too demanding and no doubt encounter conflicting schedules.
"At the moment we have an agreement with Guus Hiddink that he will combine the two posts only till the summer," Mutko said.
"Of course everything can change, but we should take into account that, for Hiddink, it is better to work with a national side. He is not only a coach but also an organiser, a politician — not a club man."
