Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has told fans he cannot reject his return to the Russian national team job.

In a Q&A on Chelsea TV, Hiddink said: "I have my commitments, bedsides the contracts, to renewing the Russia squad.

"At the end of the World Cup qualification period it would not be fair from my side to say that I am going.

"There is a commitment you give to people and I did that to the Russian players. There is a new generation of Russian players and it would not be fair from my side to say goodbye because I'd like to do another job. I have my commitments to them as well and I want to fulfil them."

Hiddink is expected to make way for AC Milan's Carlo Ancelotti and the Dutchman urged the fans to give his replacement the same kind of support.

"Chelsea is a big club and the demands are big," said Hiddink. "Whoever the manager will handle the pressure. Everyone has to help the new manager and to make him feel at home.

"He deserves support from the first day. The people inside Chelsea are preparing for next season. But whoever it is will come into a warm atmosphere and be assisted very well by the staff. They will sign a very good and experienced manager."
