Doughty, playing his final game for Western Kentucky , spotted USF a 14-0 lead and spent much of the first half looking spotty. The South Florida defense has held 6 of 7 Conference opponents below their season scoring average, and one equaled it.

Guardiola won 14 trophies, including two Champions League crown during four years in the Barcelona hotseat, while the 44-year-old has guided league leaders Bayern successive Bundesliga titles since arriving at the Allianz Arena in 2013.

Guardiola has already assessed Chelsea’s squad and has indicated that the defending champions, 15th in the Premier League, will need to sign 10 new players. “I have no problems with the work-rate of my team”.

The 52-year-old Portuguese is remaining in London, with a statement from his management company emphasising: “He will not be taking a sabbatical, he isn’t exhausted, he doesn’t need it”.

Hiddink confirmed over the weekend that he will not extend his stay at Stamford Bridge beyond the end of the season, meaning his short tenure will be remarkably similar to his 2009 reign when he replaced Luis Felipe Scolari in a deal until the end of the campaign.
