Mateja Kezman has claimed that Guus Hiddink will be appointed as new Chelsea manager. This was revealed after the former Chelsea manager Jose  Mourinho was axed just seven months after guiding Chelsea to the Premier League title, owing to the dismal run of nine defeats in 16 league matches this term.

And Kezman claims a deal to appoint Hiddink has already been done.

Mateja Kezman claims Guus Hiddink will be appointed boss of Chelsea 

The former Blues striker said: “I don't know if it has been officially confirmed yet but Hiddink just told me he was the new coach.

"Hiddink is a great expert and an even better psychologist, hence I am confident he will get Chelsea back to winning ways in the Premier League and go all the way in the Champions League."

Hiddink won the 2009 FA Cup with Chelsea during a brief spell as interim manager after taking over from Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari.

Chelsea are 16th in the Premier League and one point above the relegation zone after 16 games.

They face Paris St-Germain in the last 16 of the Champions League.
