Hiddink 'would consider Inter'

21 June 2011 11:25
Guus Hiddink's agent has suggested the Dutchman may be interested in becoming the next coach of Inter Milan.[LNB] The role is likely to be vacated by Leonardo shortly, with the former AC Milan boss poised to become Paris Saint-Germain's new sporting director.[LNB]Inter have already made moves to find a successor for Leonardo but have met several obstacles with Porto's Andre Villas-Boas' release clause too steep while Sinisa Mihajlovic has reiterated his commitment to Fiorentina.[LNB]Former Argentina boss Marcelo Bielsa has also ruled himself out of the running.[LNB]But Cees van Nieuwenhuizen has said his client, currently in charge of the Turkish national side, "would evaluate" Inter's offer should the Nerazzurri reach an agreement with Hiddink's current employers.[LNB]"We have never spoken to (Inter president Massimo) Moratti," Van Nieuwenhuizen told the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.[LNB]"Hiddink has a contract with the Turkish federation and therefore before any talks can begin, Moratti must contact the (Turkish) federation and say he is interested in Guus.[LNB]"He is contracted until 2012 so, for the time being, there is no possibility that he can coach Inter.[LNB]"If Inter reached an agreement with Turkey? Well at that point Hiddink would certainly evaluate the Nerazzurri offer but he is a professional and he has never broken a contract in his whole career."[LNB]Hiddink has also been linked with a move back to Chelsea, with whom he had a successful caretaker spell in 2009, possibly in a sporting director role with the west London club reportedly targeting Villas-Boas to be their next coach.
