Guus Hiddink has put himself in the frame to replace
Rafa Benitez at Liverpool after admitting he would love to return
to England.
Benitez's
future at Liverpool hangs in the balance
following a diastrous season this term.
The pressure has increased on the Spaniard in the wake of the
embarassing FA Cup defeat to Reading on Wednesday and Hiddink has
been mentioned as a possible replacement if Liverpool decide to
look for a new man to take charge.
Hiddink, who enjoyed a successful four-month spell at Chelsea
last year, is expected to leave his job as Russia coach after they
failed to qualify for this summer's
World
Cup finals.
The experienced coach is keen to ply his trade again in the
Premier League, but he will first seek the approval of Chelsea
owner
Roman
Abramovich before making a switch back to England.
"I have to speak to the federation president before making any
decision on my future, but it is true that I would like to coach in
England again," said Hiddink.
"After all the support I've received from Roman Abramovich I owe
it to them to discuss anything with them first."
