It’s been widely reported that former Chelsea boss, Avram Grant, is being considered as a replacement for Guus Hiddink as Russia manager.

Grant has been seen in Russia and attended a game also attended by Roman Abramovich, the Chelsea chairman and leading Russian football proponent.

If this is so, then Hiddink would be free to continue as Chelsea boss full-time next season, even though he insists he’s returning to Moscow at the end of
this season.

Grant insisted that there was nothing in the rumours.

“I’m on a private visit here,” insisted Grant

“Is it possible that I’ll take a job in Russia? My answer is: nothing can be ruled out.”
