Hiddink set for Wembley farewell

Chelsea's season could end with a triumphant and emotional send-off for interim coach Guus Hiddink. The Blues face Everton in the FA Cup final on May 30 after a season which looked to be heading for disaster under former boss Luiz Felipe Scolari. The World Cup-winning Brazilian arrived at Stamford Bridge last summer with a great track record at international level but he clearly could not handle the pressure of the Barclays Premier League. But his successor Hiddink, who took Russia to the semi-finals of Euro 2008, insists he will not stay on in London despite admitting he's had `second thoughts' about the situation. "I've many second thoughts, sometimes third thoughts," said Hiddink, 62, after Chelsea's 2-0 win over Blackburn in the final home game of the season. "Russia is a country that needs to be developed. I have given my commitment to them, with pleasure, and I have to fulfil that. But that does not mean that it is not difficult to leave this atmosphere."
