Chelsea Football Club have confirmed the
re-appointment of former manager Guus Hiddink as interim manager until the end of season
“The owner and the Board welcome back a
coach with a wealth of top-level experience and success, including his previous
spell with the club in 2009 when we lifted the FA Cup.
Mr Abramovich and the Board believe that
Guus has what it takes to get the best out of our talented squad.”
The newly appointed interim manager Guus
Hiddink said: 'I am excited to return to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea is one of the
biggest clubs in the world but is not where it should be at the moment.
However, I am sure we can all turn this season around.
‘I
am looking forward to working with the players and staff at this great club and
especially renewing my wonderful relationship with the Chelsea fans.'
The Dutchman will be at Stamford Bridge
for today’s match but Steve Holland will take control of team matters for the
game alongside Eddie Newton, who will now take on the role of assistant
first-team coach.
Guus took temporary charge of Chelsea in
February 2009, losing just one league game as we recovered from a poor first
half of the season to finish third in the Premier League, guaranteeing
Champions League football for the next campaign and signing off in style thanks
to a 2-1 FA Cup win over Everton at Wembley.
