Hiddink is one signing we should make

It took less than 24 hours for Hiddink to be linked back with Chelsea after he left as Turkey manager. Some would see Hiddink's appointment as a bad thing for Andre Villas-Boas as the young manager is still seeking to stamp his authority on the team, but Hiddink could be the perfect tonic for Villas-Boas.

Chelsea's must successful manager famously fell foul of a relationship break down with Roman Abramovich which ultimately lead to his departure back in September 2007, and now under Villas-Boas we have a manager that potentially could go on and surpass the records that his predecessor set. And for the relationship between the manager and the board to break down again could be a very disastrous move for the club.

This is where Hiddink comes in, Hiddink has a great relationship with Abramovich and can be a go between for Villas-Boas. Hiddink does not have to have any tactical input into the team but can be there to support a young and still relatively inexperienced manager.

Many would suggest that Hiddink would act as a constant source of pressure for Villas-Boas, knowing that if he doesn't deliver to Abramovich's high standards he could become the latest list of sacked Chelsea managers. But, Hiddink is getting older now, and perhaps doesn't want a pressure job after recent failures in Russia and Turkey. And, let's not forget, Chelsea paid Porto around 15 millions Euros to sign Villas-Boas on a five-year-deal which indicated they are looking for some long term stability as the club aims to become self sufficient.

The decision ultimately, should be down to Villas-Boas, but I believe Hiddink would be a great asset to the club and to the management team. He is not the type of character to put pressure on Villas-Boas and as somebody who is close friends with the owner and holds great memories of his time at the club, he would only want Chelsea to succeed.
