GOOSE SACKED BY TURKEY

Guus Hiddink is contemplating a return to Chelsea in move that could unsettle new boss Andre Villa-Boas after the one-time FA Cup winning Blues manager revealed he would like to come back to England.

The Dutchman has had his contract terminated by the Turkish Football Federation after he failed to guide Turkey to a play-off win over Croatia, missing out on qualification for next summer's European Championship.


Ajax would like the 65-year-old to return to his homeland Holland in a director of football capacity but it is a similar role at Stamford Bridge that Hiddink could turn to instead.

Hiddink was popular figure at Chelsea when he took over from Luiz Felipe Scolari on a caretaker basis in 2009 and guided the club to FA Cup glory.

The players did not want him to leave before he opted to resume his full-time role at the time with Russia and it is understood he remains a close friend and confidant to owner Roman Abramovich.
