Hiddink wants Drogba and Cech back at Chelsea

Guus Hiddink has confirmed he will stay at Chelsea in an advisory role, where he hopes he will be able to lure club legends such as Didier Drogba and Petr Cech back to Stamford Bridge in administrative roles when they retire.

The Dutchman took charge of the club after Jose Mourinho was sacked in December 2015, but will now make way for  Antonio Conte next season.

Hiddink has revealed that he wants to remain at the club, and has shed a bit of light on what his new role will consist of.

"Technical advisor is a big word, but I will indeed hold an advisory role," he told Fox Sports.

"I want to involve former Chelsea players. I spoke with Drogba last week, I have spoken with Cech. These guys are true Chelsea legends and have had such an impact at the club.

"Chelsea are an old club, but they have only been there at the highest level for about 15 years or so. These older guys want the best for Chelsea and can do a lot for the club once they have ended their active careers.

"One might go for a commercial career, another might pursue a job as assistant manager and another might be interested in a scouting position. You can make such good use of guys like them. I have the freedom to approach former players for things like that."
