Hiddink agent rules out Reds move
The agents of Guus Hiddink and Frank Rijkaard have both dismissed the prospect of their clients taking over at Liverpool this summer.[LNB] Rafa Benitez left the Reds post on Thursday by mutual consent after six years at the helm.[LNB]Hiddink was one of the first names to be linked with the job but his agent Cees van Nieuwenhuizen told BBC Sport the former Chelsea boss will not be turning his back on Turkey having only recently taken up the post.[LNB]"Guus has shown over the years that he is loyal to agreements that he signed," Van Nieuwenhuizen said. "There is no reason why he would change such behaviour.[LNB]"Guus just started two weeks ago in Turkey and as much as he likes the Premier League and as much as he respects Liverpool as a legendary club with a great future ahead, a switch would be hardly doable.[LNB]"I know, never say never and especially in football this is true, but for me this is an impossible thought."[LNB]BBC Sport also spoke to representatives of both Croatia manager Slaven Bilic and former Barcelona boss Rijkaard.[LNB]Bilic's agent and brother Domagoj admitted the Liverpool job was appealing, saying: "An offer has not come - not yet anyway - so we will not discuss it. But if any offer does come we will of course discuss it."[LNB]Rijkaard's agent Perry Overmeers was less enthusiastic, however, saying that his client would honour his current deal with Turkish side Galatasaray.[LNB]"Rumours linking Frank to Liverpool are just that, rumours," Overmeers said.[LNB]"Frank is the type of person who likes to fulfil his obligations and he has one year left on his contract with Galatasaray."[LNB]Sky Sports News, meanwhile, claim Liverpool are planning a shock move for Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp.[LNB]Spurs would be loath to lose the services of the 63-year-old but he has only one year remaining on his current contract at White Hart Lane and talks over a new deal are yet to take place.
