Dutchman reported to be on the verge of signing 18-month contract
Guus Hiddink is to become the new manager of mega-rich Anzhi Makhachkala, according to reports in Holland.
The ambitious Russian club are said to be ready to unveil the in-demand Dutchman on an 18-month contract.
Hiddink's imminent appointment would seemingly end Anzhi's interest in former England manager Fabio Capello.
It would also ease some of the pressure on Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas, with club owner Roman Abramovich a long-term friend of Hiddink.
The 65-year-old managed Chelsea to the FA Cup in 2009 on a caretaker basis and it had been suggested he could return if they decided to part company with Villas-Boas.
Hiddink's contract with Anzhi is reportedly set to be worth in the region of €10million-a-year (£8.3m) and would mark his return to work since stepping down as Turkey boss in November.
