The Dutchman is expected to keep the manager's seat warm for A C Milan's Carlo Ancelotti, SunSport revealed.

Ancelotti is Chelsea's No 1 choice to replace axed Phil Scolari.ilan chiefs have admitted that Ancelotti will leave the club this summer and the Blues expect him to be installed by June.

In the meantime, Hiddink will get 1.5 million pounds as basic salary and a 500,000-pound bonus for winning the Champions League and the same again depending on performances in the league and FA Cup.

Hiddink, 62, has made it clear he will not take the job full-time and is only helping out as a favour to Roman Abramovich.
