Rumors have being spreading around that Guus Hiddink will take over as Chelsea boss, and the Dutchman confirmed talks are underway.
Coach Guus Hiddink has confirmed he is in talks over a return to Chelsea to replace Jose Mourinho, who departed the club by mutual consent on Thursday.
Mourinho's second spell in charge at Stamford Bridge came to an end after the Premier League champion's shocking season continued with a 2-1 loss at Leicester City on Monday, a result that leaves the team just a point above the relegation zone.
Speculation soon gathered pace that Chelsea would turn to Hiddink at least until the end of the season.
The 69-year-old previously enjoyed a short spell in charge of the London club in 2009, when he led Chelsea to a third-placed finish and FA Cup glory.
Discussion over a possible return have started, but he has dismissed any talk of being on the bench when Chelsea faces Sunderland this weekend.
The Dutchman told De Telegraaf: "I want to know as much as possible about Chelsea before I sign a deal. I want to gain as much information as possible. Chelsea is in a bad situation and there are reasons for that. Before I take a decision, I want to have insight."
Asked about the prospect of being in charge against Sunderland, he said: "The coaches will do that. Whether or not I'm visiting their next match depends on my first conversation. Then I'll decide if I should stay in London longer to discuss the matter further."
Hiddink counts the likes of PSV, Fenerbahce and Real Madrid among a lengthy list of clubs on his CV, while he has also worked in international football with South Korea, Australia, Turkey and Netherlands (twice).
Since leaving Chelsea at the end of the 2008-09 season, Hiddink has endured mixed fortunes.
He left Turkey having failed to qualify for Euro 2012, before a short spell at Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala.
Hiddink then replaced Louis van Gaal as Netherlands coach after the 2014 World Cup, but he left the position in June due to the nation's poor record in Euro 2016 qualifying

Ranieri's side compounded chelsea's problem
Real madrid again fails to beat a big team
It was a below-par performance Sunday - just as it had been in such games all season. Rafa's Real was embarrassingly beaten by Barca, could only draw against Atletico and also has lost to Sevilla and now Villarreal too. His team has been found out against the best - a lucky win at home to Paris Saint-Germain aside - and is now five points off the pace in La Liga.
Benitez's men started slowly at El Madrigal, found themselves behind after just nine minutes to a Roberto Soldado strike and were off the pace for the entire first half. And even though they were much better at the start of the second, poor finishing cost them. Madrid was playing catch-up and created chances through sheer intensity - but still seemed to lack ideas, and the soccer was underwhelming.

The order of the court was as a result of a debt recovery suit filed by AssetManagement Corporation Of Nigeria(AMCON) against the defendants.
In an affidavit sworn to by a Credit officer in the Directorate of AMCON, Mr Victor Igabor, and filed and argued by Barrister Niyi Olopade, the deponent averred that sometime between May, 2008 and 10 January, 2011 Skye Bank offered The Hardley Apartments engaged in business of hospitality located at Plot 46, Waziri Ibrahim Crescent, Victoria Island, Lagos, a loan of N520,457,000.

The loan was secured by a mortgage on the company’s three blocks of forty accommodation units with estimated open market value of N395 million as well as unconditional personal, joint and several guarantee of Ayoola Gam-Ikon and Nwankwo Kanu.
The defendants failed to repay the loan with the accrued interest despite repeated demands, consequent upon which Skye Bank Plc assigned the defendants indebtedness in the sum of N558,313,905.37 as at 1 April, 2011 to the AMCON as a toxic bank asset in line with the establishment objective of the said AMCON.
Mr Igabor averred further that, this development was communicated to the defendants by Skye Bank who admitted their indebtedness but praying that theassignment to AMCON be revoked.

The defendants’ indebtedness as at the 15th October 2015 stood at N924,788,754.56 representing principal and interest while interest is still running.
Consequently, Igabor contended that The Hardley Apartments is in the process of being dissipated, therefore if the application is not granted, Ayoola Gam-Ikon and Nawankwo Kanu could dissipate the assets of the company. It therefore urged the court to issue an interim order of taking custody of all movable and immovable properties known as Plot 46, Waziri Ibrahim Crescent, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The presiding judge, Okon Abang, while acceding to the request of AMCON, ordered that AMCON shall in the interim possess all the movable and immovable properties known as Plot 46, Waziri Ibrahim Crescent, Victoria Island, Lagos.

John Terry is wrong: Nobody will fear Mourinho's fragile Chelsea
The Blues may have beaten Porto and the central defender may fancy their chances, but the Portuguese's team will not have any potential opponent quaking in their boots
Jose Mourinho’s men will not have shaken off the monkey on their back just yet – their loss to Bournemouth was the first time in Premier League history that the champions of the top division had been beaten by the champions of the second – but this performance at Stamford Bridge was cathartic, if not entirely convincing.
Stamford Bridge ached with nerves before kickoff, Porto’s fans making a royal racket and expressing the nonchalant confidence reserved for a team used to winning titles. Chelsea, at last, seems to have rediscovered that very feeling.
Diego Costa was the chief protagonist in the win, hustling, harrying, irritating, as he put himself about and made himself the nuisance that he was last season, when he netted 20 goals in 37 appearances in all competitions. He has scored a mere four this term, but did everything he could to add to his tally against Mourinho’s former club.
His first golden chance arrived in the first half when, having burst through, he found himself one-on-one with Iker Casillas, whom he also decided to kick when he had the ball in his hands earlier. His shot was weak, however, and rebounded off Ivan Marcano and into the net. Despite Maicon’s best efforts on the line, the goal was given. When your luck is in, those decisions are given.
Willian added a second in the 52nd minute, collecting a finely weighted pass from Oscar and powering on into the box before firing at Casillas’s near post. The former Real Madrid legend could not get down quickly enough, and the Matthew Harding Stand erupted.
Costa could and, indeed, should have added some sheen to the scoreline, thrice failing to test Casillas when clean through, but the job, by then, was done
