Chelsea are yet to confirm Guus Hiddink as their new manager, but it appears Football Federation Australia have already given the role to the former Socceroos coach.
"Aussie Guus", as the well-travelled Dutchman is affectionately known in this country thanks to his success in getting Australia to the 2006 World Cup, is set to take over at the struggling English Premier League side after Jose Mourinho was sacked on Thursday.
However nothing has been made official yet - apart from a story on FFA's website declaring Hiddink had taken on the role.
"Guus Hiddink has taken temporary charge at struggling EPL giant Chelsea after the club announced they'd sacked coach Jose Mourinho overnight following the club's disastrous run in the English Premier League," the report on Friday read.
The Socceroos' official Twitter account posted the story along with the tweet: "Our former boss has taken charge at @ChelseaFC - Good luck Guus!"
