Manchester City and Juventus want Hiddink-agent

(GSM) – Manchester City have approached Guus Hiddink over the possibility of filling the position of manager in the near future. According to the Russia manager’s representative, both City and Juventus are interested in the Dutch manager.

Current Eastlands manager Mark Hughes is under huge pressure after his side slipped back to eighth in the Premier League.

Hiddink, alongside unemployed Roberto Mancini and former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, has been pinpointed as the favorite to replace Hughes if City sack Hughes.

Hiddink’s agent, Cees Van Nieuwenhuizen, replied to the Daily Telegraph when asked if he has spoken to the English club’s chief executive Garry Cook, “Yes, I did.

“But Guus is happy with Russia. Definitely. I had a call because I have been working with Garry for 12 years since we worked together at Nike.

“But I have received calls from all over the world about Guus. There has also been an approach from Juventus.

“He (Cook) asked me if it would be worthwhile having a meeting to discuss the future and what might happen next summer. But I told him that Guus was contracted to Russia.

“I said I didn’t think it was worth having a meeting. Guus is very relaxed. He starts his holiday tomorrow and in January there are elections for a new president for the Russian Federation.

“He is contracted until next summer but there is an offer for him to stay for two more years, and I think he will definitely stay.”
