Outgoing Chelsea coach Guus Hiddink wants
to bring back Cote d’Ivoire legendary striker
Didier Drogba, and goalkeeper Petr Cech to
the London club.
The Dutch-born
mentor has also
confirmed that
he’s staying with
the Blues after
leading the
English Premier
League giants to a
10th place finish.
Hiddink will stay
put at Stamford
Bridge as an
adviser where he
will focus his
energy on
promoting youngsters to the senior team.
The former PSV Eindhoven and Netherlands
tactician was roped in by the Blues for a
second stint following the departure of Jose
Mourinho, during the worst title defence in
Premier League history.
The 69-year-old revealed all, adding that he
has talked to both Drogba and Cech.
“I have spoken with Didier Drogba. I spoke
with Peter Cech. These are legends,” said
Hiddink. “They have had much impact here.
Once they are really finished their playing
career, they can be of great value to the club,
such as assistant or scout.”
The 2014/15 EPL champions have been
criticised for their lack of transformation in
promoting youngsters coming through their
youth system, but Hiddink credits himself with
the emergence of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and
Bertrand Traore this season.
