revealed, though not in the way most would have
imagined, as the Dutchman's old team wished him
luck at Stamford Bridge Australia's national football
team website has congratulated former coach Guus
Hiddink on his appointment as Jose Mourinho's
successor at Chelsea,
though no official confirmation
has yet been released by the Premier League club.
Mourinho was sacked by the Blues on Thursday after
a string of poor results, bad press and in-house bust-
ups, leaving fans speculating as to who would take
over.
Former Chelsea striker Mateja Kezman claimed that
the Dutchman had revealed to him he would take
over, but the Socceroos website took the speculation
to a new level after publishing their own
announcement and sharing their congratulations on
Twitter.
Should Hiddink be appointed, the 69-year-old will
have unenviable task of lifting the Premier League
champions - currently only a single point above the
relegation zone - back up the table.
As things stand, however, neither Chelsea nor the
coach have commented since Mourinho's dismissal
on Thursday.
Hiddink has already had one stint in charge of the
Blues, having taken over at Stamford Bridge after
Brazilian coach Luiz Felipe Scolari was sacked in
2009; he enjoyed a 73 per cent win rate and lifted the
FA Cup.
