Guus Hiddink wants Didier Drogba back at Chelsea
Guus Hiddink has returned to Chelsea as manager “until the end of the season” following the sacking of Jose Mourinho, the struggling Premier League champions announced on Saturday.

“Whatever their feelings were regarding the situation they had a responsibility to the football club and its supporters all round the world”.
“If it was the case where you could get rid of a lot of players I’m sure clubs would do that, but unfortunately it does fall on the manager’s head, there’s nothing we can do about that”, Terry said.
The coach will be at Stamford Bridge for Saturday’s match but Steve Holland will take control of team matters for the game alongside Eddie Newton, who will now take on the role of assistant first-team coach.
“I worked with him here before – he was the one who gave me a proper chance in this club”, Ivanovic told Chelsea’s official website. The Dutchman, whose second spell at Stamford Bridge was confirmed before kick-off, will officially begin work on Tuesday having been parachuted in until the end of the season in an attempt to salvage something from the ashes of Mourinho’s departure.
Chelsea ended a traumatic week on a high at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, with the Blues getting back to winning ways against Sunderland. He was very demanding, his training sessions were intense, he’ll demand from everyone, and he’s a great man-manager as well.
“He will not be taking a sabbatical, he isn’t exhausted, he doesn’t need it, he is very positive, and is already looking forward”, the statement said.
“He (Hiddink) was here before, he did very well and I think he’s a very good manager”, Courtois said.
“If he has watched today and seen us recently, maybe he will see that we have been lacking a little bit of confidence because we haven’t been firing and playing as well as we would have liked”.
“We always wanted to play well but sometimes things turn out differently and the board took a decision”.
In one sense, it was a game that Chelsea’s players could not win as, though the much-improved performance strengthened their league position, it also hardened perceptions that they had not been giving their all for Mourinho.
Sunderland must play for 90 minutes, keep clean sheets and score any game’s first goal if they are to plot a route to safety, says Sam Allardyce.
