Russia coach Guus Hiddink, who has been heavily linked to be the replacement of under-pressure Juventus manager Ciro Ferrara, has indicated he is more interested in a return to English football. The Dutch tactician is believed to have taken great pleasure in his brief stint as Chelsea manager last season, and would love the opportunity to once again compete in the Premier League.

"The first thing I want to do before making any decision on my future is speak with the [Russian] federation president but I would like to coach in England again," the 63-year-old said in The Guardian.

Hiddink has enjoyed successful spells both as a club manager with PSV Eindhoven, and Chelsea, and as an international coach with the likes of Korea Republic, Australia and his native Netherlands. He only lost once in his recent reign as Blues manager and brought the side FA Cup glory as well.
