Chelsea confirm Hiddink appointment

“You get this thrill in your stomach to be on the pitch, to work with them”. It is not easy to say that I am here and the problem is solved. I told them as professionals to look in the mirror and be ultra-critical. It was good to see the quality was there. The team under-performed and they have to do better. “I like teams to have a spine from central defence, to midfield to attack to have strong leaders who can coach throughout”.

Speaking on Mourinho’s last game, the 2-1 defeat to Leicester last Monday, Pedro said: “That game was frightful for us. This club needs an experienced manager and Guus Hiddink is that”, said Holland. He’s a key captain of the national team.

Back then he steadied the ship following the sacking of Luiz Felipe Scolari and lead the players to victory in the FA Cup, as well the semi-finals of the Champions League that season. Today for the first time he trained, not for the full session.
