Guus stepping out in triumph: New belief is Hiddink's parting gift to Chelsea

Before Roman Abramovich said farewell to Avram Grant last year, he took him to an artgallery and offered to buy him a painting.The Russian wanted to give it to Grant as a token of his appreciation - a thank you for taking over from Jose Mourinho in difficult circumstances and guiding Chelsea to within a whisker of a European and domestic double.Grant, the story goes, declined the offer by someone he regarded as much a friend as an employer.
