'Hiddink to stay in Russia' - agent

RFU president Vitaly Mutko
 

Guus Hiddink's agent insists the Dutchman has no intention of quitting as Russia manager for a job in the Premier League.

Hiddink has been linked with Chelsea following the departure of Jose Mourinho. But the 60-year-old is fully focused on the task of trying to guide the Russians to next summer's Euro 2008 finals in Switzerland and Austria.

Hiddink's agent, Cees van Nieuwenhuizen, said: "Where he is right now and his age, it is of more interest to him to work with a national team.

"I think that's what he likes to do instead of being in the pressure cooker of the Premier League."

Van Nieuwenhuizen also believes Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich would be mindful of the political repercussions should he pluck Hiddink from his homeland.

He added: "I think Abramovich would not make any friends if he would steal away Guus Hiddink from the Russian Football Federation."
