After having performed a miracle albeit controversial with South Korea in the 2002 World Cup, followed up by leading the Socceroos to their first World Cup in 34 years only to beaten somewhat controversially against Italy who went on to win the World Cup and not to mention his recent success with Russia where he took them all the way to the semi finals in the 2008 European Championship, Guus may be on the brink of another fairytale.
In true Hiddink form, Guus has taken charge of Chelsea for a short term contract that ends in the summer. Guus will be charged now doubt, to bring the Champions League to Stamford Bridge. This is the one trophy that has so far eluded Mr. Abramovich and following the personal debacle of Moscow last year, Roman quite clearly feels that Guus is the man. And certainly, he just may be. After being in charge of Australia for only 3 months, Guus not only clinched qualification for the boys from downunder but took them to Germany where they received accolades for their stellar performance from football quarters around the world.
Here is a video from Germany 2006 where Hiddink's Socceroos came back impressively to beat Japan.
