Chelsea pile on the pressure for red-hot Hiddink not to quit as Blues boss

Guus Hiddink says he is coming under increasing pressure to stay on as Chelsea boss after a stunning start at Stamford Bridge. Hiddink has led the Blues to six wins from seven matches since he took over from Luiz Felipe Scolari on 16 February and several members of the Chelsea squad have said they would love the Dutchman to remain in charge beyond the end of the campaign. The 62-year-old is adamant he will resume full-time control of Russia when the season ends but revealed he had been approached to continue with Chelsea. One avenue that could be open to Hiddink is to return to the club in November if he fails to lead Russia to the 2010 World Cup. Hiddink said: 'I will focus on Russia after this project but people say, 'Think about it, stay'. I enjoy it with the Russians but I do have a clause that says we can stop in November if Russia don't qualify. 'Then, the Russian FA can choose another direction and I would also be free to go.'
