Chelsea offer Hiddink consultant role

The Sun reported Guus Hiddink has been asked to stay on at Chelsea. But it would be as director of football — NOT in his current role as manager.

Hiddink said: “There had to be a contract or my work in Chelsea would be impossible from a legal point of view. Yes, there is such a contract. It expires on May 31. They offered me to continue working for them after that date as a consultant.”

He added: “I’ll need to have a look at how the situation is going to develop. May be I can be useful for Chelsea in that role.”
