The Leicester City managerial situation, already an interesting issue before their 3-1 win against Liverpool on Monday evening, is now becoming even more complicated.
One of the first names to be mentioned following his two spells at Chelsea as a stop-gap manager, the potential appointment of Guus Hiddink made a lot of sense.
Capable of stabilising a sinking ship, and ensure the situation doesn’t get any worse, the former Netherlands national manager was seen as the perfect candidate for the role, albeit short-term.
However, according to the man himself, Leicester are yet to have approached him about the job, despite his interest in returning to club football management in the near future.
Speaking to De Telegraaf, he said: “I think Leicester has done very well by going with the assistant manager after Ranieri’s dismissal. They proved themselves against Liverpool. I have no had contact with Leicester.
“I have so much love for football that I do not exclude it. I never go to a club for several years, but I think it’s great to be working with young people”.
It seems that, were Leicester to approach the 70-year-old, Hiddink would say yes, but, if results under Craig Shakespeare continue to improve, you can see the 53-year-old keeping his job, at least until the end of the season.
That seems like the most reasonable plan at this stage.
