It's goodbye Guus Hiddink: But have we seen the last of him?

Despite the venue, love was in the air when Guus Hiddink first encountered this Chelsea team. It was Watford, on Valentine's Day, in the FA Cup fifth round. Things got off to an embarrassing start when Tamas Priskin put Watford ahead but a hat-trick from Nicolas Anelka soon chased away the nerves. It would prove the beginning of a brief but beautiful encounter, one which comes to an end at Wembley today, when Hiddink leads the Blues into the FA Cup final and waves goodbye. After the game, the Dutch double agent will board a private jet and return to Moscow, where he will slip back into his previous life with Russia's national team. He will watch Rubin Kazan and CSKA Moscow contest Sunday's Russian Cup final and greet his international players when they gather on Wednesday to continue their World Cup qualification campaign against Finland. Will he be back? 'This league is very attractive to work in,' he said.
