Hiddink hints at Chelsea role after Conte's arrival

The Dutchman is set to be replaced by the former Juventus boss after Italy's Euro 2016 campaign but suggests he would be open to working with the club's youth players.

Guus Hiddink has hinted that he may be given another role at Chelsea after he steps down as manager this summer.

Antonio Conte will replace the Dutchman after Italy’s Euro 2016 campaign as last year’s champions will be looking to recover from the worst title defense in Premier League history.

Reports have claimed that Roman Abramovich is keen to keep the former Netherlands boss at Stamford Bridge in an advisory role, and the 69-year-old says he would relish the chance to improve the club’s youth system.
