The president of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) has issued a warning to Chelsea in their pursuit of Guus Hiddink and questioned the honesty of the manager himself.
With Chelsea having past record of signing players on contract, TFF president Mahmut Ozgener seems to be suspicious over an illegal move for the services of Hiddink and has cited his intent to bring the matter before Fifa if his suspicion is confirmed.
An official approach for the former Australia and South Korea manager’s services was made by Chelsea last week but Ozgener believes the 64-year-old was sounded out prior to Turkey’s 1-1 draw with Belgium.
Ozgener added he is unhappy that Hiddink told him different thing from what he told the players.
The Blues would be forced to pay the TFF £3.5 million in compensation should Hiddink make the return to Stamford Bridge and the London Club may well hope that Ozgener is deposed from his role during presidential re-elections at the end of June - an issue he insists will not affect Turkish Football’s policing of any deal for their current manager.
Should Chelsea land their man, they will take their compensation payments to over £9 million as the departed Carlo Ancelotti was set to receive £6 million for his dismissal.
