Hiddink still off in summer
Guus Hiddink has once again reiterated his plan to stand down as Chelsea boss at the end of the season.
The Dutchman was appointed on an interim basis by the Blues following the dismissal of Luiz Felipe Scolari in February.
Hiddink's short-term deal is set to expire in the summer, when he will turn his sole focus back to guiding Russia to the 2010 World Cup.
The former PSV and South Korea boss has always insisted that he never had any intention of combining the two roles for a prolonged period of time.
That still remains the case and despite numerous pleas for him to extend his time at Stamford Bridge, Hiddink insists he will walk away once his current deal expires.
"A lot of people are trying to persuade me to stay at Chelsea, but I won't change my decision. I'm leaving Chelsea in May," he said.
While Hiddink is keen to give his full attention to his commitments with the Russian national side, he has hinted that he could find himself out of work altogether in November should he fail to lead his adopted country to the World Cup finals.
"We will do everything and even more to qualify for the World Cup," he said.
"But, if not, the Russian Football Union would surely want to elaborate a new strategy for the development of football in the country. And in that case they'll need another man, not me.
"If this happens I'm ready to leave in November. Or decide whether we will work together in the future or not.
"This is the talk we had. It doesn't have any relation to Chelsea."
