Hiddink expects a positive resolution with John Terry

John Terry is one of Chelsea's most respected legends, he is the man who lifted the first and only Champions League trophy for the Blues. This past Sunday, with tears in his eyes, skipper John Terry had a farewell ceremony in front of all his crowd. He accepted that he doesn't want to leave, but they did this ceremony just in case he does. But he has accepted that he wants to keep playing football and the club has offered him a position outside of the first team. This is something that John Terry won't accept, because he feels that he still has a few more years to give as a player. 

After this Sunday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City, manager Guus Hiddink who is leaving to let Antonio Conte take the job as manager, hoped that the club and John can reach an agreement that satisfies both sides: "First of all I'm happy that they are now in contact and they are talking, and for me it's not good to speculate. Personally, I hope they will manage to come to a solution. When they are talking then I don't think I should spoil it by starting to speculate. He is still, although 35, physically fit and mentally very fit, so he can contribute a lot wherever he wants to play."

About his own personal farewell from the team, Hiddink accepted that he will miss the seat: "I haven't felt tears going over my cheeks, but of course it's always emotional. But not that dramatic because I think I will be back, not very soon, but every now and then. Not in the limelight, just hidden a bit, because what I like – and we talked about it a bit – is to help out with the academy boys. So I won't say a crying goodbye because after the summer and autumn I will be back."

Hiddink also expects that with Conte they will return to their winning ways, he would not like it if he returns again as the interim: "It would be very bad for Chelsea if I get called in December. No, I have full confidence they will go up now in this period. They'll make their analysis and they'll go up where they belong, and that's fighting for silverware and being in the top four.

"I think this season we were all very aware of what other clubs can do - now Leicester, we have seen Tottenham but also West Ham. Other clubs are knocking on the door and having more financial backing in the next season, and maybe with smart recruiting from the clubs I don't think it's a done deal that the four established clubs from the past are the four established clubs for the future."
