Guus Hiddink insists no plans have been made to turn his temporary role at Chelsea into a permanent job.

The Dutchman is combining his duties as Russia coach with reviving Chelsea's Premier League title prospects up until the end of the season.

Reacting to speculation he will sign a permanent deal, Hiddink said: "If there is something new I will announce it.

The 62-year-old has overseen two Chelsea victories since taking charge on 11 February following the sacking of Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari.
