Hiddink could retire

Guus Hiddink has revealed that managing the Russian national team could be his last active coaching job but is keeping his options open.
“It is possible I might step out of coaching and have a more advisory role with a club or a national association after 2010,” Hiddink told Reuters in an interview during his team's training camp on Turkey's Mediterranean coast earlier this month.
“Well, to be honest, I just don't know at this time,” said the 61-year-old Dutchman, who last year agreed to extend his Russian contract for two more years beyond the Euro 2008 finals and through the 2010 World Cup.
“If I don't become a bitter old jealous man by then I might continue. Actually, I'm enjoying my job right now. I get a lot of positive energy working with young people, teaching them a few things. It's a big motivation for me to keep going.”
Hiddink has already done some consulting work for FIFA and UEFA, the sport's world and European governing bodies.
“I've been regularly asked to speak at their workshops and seminars, to give presentations to other coaches,” he said. “I find it a very good way to exchange ideas, to stay tuned to the latest technical and tactical developments in football.”
The highly successful coach, who led his native Netherlands to the 1998 World Cup semifinals before repeating the feat with South Korea four years later, has been constantly linked with top coaching jobs round the world.
“Rumours are always going around football,” he said. “I hear some tabloids mention my name almost every time there is a coaching vacancy, but that doesn't bother me.”
More than any other club, Hiddink has been linked with Chelsea because of his acquaintance with the English Premier League club's Russian billionaire owner Roman Abramovich, who was instrumental in helping to lure the Dutchman to Moscow.
“All I can say for sure that for the next two years I'll be coaching Russia, what comes after that I just don't know,” he said.
Hiddink reportedly earns two million euros ($2.9 million) a year, paid for by Abramovich through his National Academy Fund.
But he said: “If I didn't like it here I wouldn't stay, no matter how much they pay me."
