Report: Guus Hiddink to take over as Chelsea boss until end of the season

Former Dutch national team manager Guus Hiddink will replace Jose Mourinho at the helm of Chelsea until the end of the 2015-16 season, according to Sam Wallace of the Telegraph.

Hiddink was Chelsea's caretaker manager in 2009, and appears set to take over the role again after the Blues fired Mourinho.

Wallace reports that Hiddink was given the temporary job by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich after a meeting with Mourinho on Thursday. He will reportedly meet the players on Friday and conduct training ahead of the weekend fixture against Sunderland at Stamford Bridge.
