Hiddink interested in England job
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4646268.stm
Guus Hiddink would be interested in succeeding Sven-Goran Eriksson as England
boss, his agent told BBC Sport.
The Dutchman, who is coach of PSV Eindhoven and Australia, is among the
favourites for the post.
Hiddink guided Australia to the 2006 World Cup and has taken both Holland and
South Korea to the semi-finals.
His agent Cees van Nieuwenhuizen told BBC Radio Five Live: "There's been no
contact but he would definitely be interested in hearing from the FA."
English coach ideal, says Shearer
Van Nieuwenhuizen said Hiddink would not reject any offer purely on the
grounds of the potential media intrusion that Eriksson claims played a part
in his decision to quit in the summer.
Van Nieuwenhuizen said: "He has been dealing with them when he was with Real
Madrid and Valencia in Spain. He has been dealing with it when he was in
Turkey with Fenerbahce
"We don't live too far away from England, so we follow the media in England
and we know what's going on there, but that would definitely not be a reason
for him to say 'no' beforehand."
He added: "Guus is receiving offers every now and then and for him, money is
definitely not the first reason to go into a job, if he was approached at all.
"The whole football environment in England, from a professional level, can
be considered as the best in the world - maybe not the way they play football
every now and then - but the exposure of English football all over the world
is a big thing.
"He is a great team builder, he is proven especially at PSV in the last
couple of years when he lost a lot of players, Lee Young-Pyo to England,
Park Ji-Sung and then this season he lost five players again.
"He seems able to build a team in a relatively short time because now they
are leading the Dutch league again and are in the Champions League with a
relatively new team."
Eriksson can start search for job
But he also revealed PSV are keen to offer their much-coveted coach a new
contract when he returns to his job on a full-time basis after coaching
Australia in Germany.
He said: "Yes, they want to talk about it, they mentioned it just before the
end of the year that they want to talk about the future of Guus at PSV. They
definitely want to renew the contract."
Hiddink was Holland coach when they made the last four in 1998 and in 2002
he took South Korea to the semi-finals.
