The former midfielder feels the Dutchman is the right man to replace Jose Mourinho and says the players must take a lot of the blame for the poor start.
Guus Hiddink would be "absolutely perfect" as an interim manager at Chelsea, according to former midfielder Ray Wilkins.
The former Netherlands head coach has confirmed he is in discussions over a possible deal to take charge of the Premier League champion following Thursday's sacking of Jose Mourinho.
Wilkins, who ended his most recent spell with Chelsea's backroom staff in 2010, believes Hiddink is the ideal man to restore dressing-room harmony between now and the end of the season.
