Chelsea have confirmed Guus Hiddink as their new manager until the end of the season following the departure of Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho parted company with the Premier League champions on Thursday after they suffered their ninth top-flight defeat of the season at Leicester.
Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Juande Ramos had been linked with the vacant post, but Hiddink arrived in London on Friday to open discussions with Chelsea.
