Russia national team coach Guus Hiddink has reportedly turned down the opportunity to coach North Korea at next summer's World Cup in South Africa.
The
Korean Football Association are understood to have approached Hiddink
to coach them as they take part in a World Cup finals for the first
time since 1966. They have been drawn in the group of death alongside
Brazil, Ivory Coast and Portugal.
Dutch television programme Voetbal International have reported that Hiddink cited "respect for the Russian football
federation" as his reason for refusing to coach North Korea. He failed
to take Russia to the World Cup, losing a play-off to Slovenia on away
goals last month.
Hiddink has a strong finals record having
coached teams at each of the last three World Cup finals. He guided the
Netherlands to fourth place in 1998, before taking joint hosts South
Korea to a surprise fourth place finish in 2002. At the last World Cup
in Germany, Hiddink's Australia side crashed out of the tournament in
the second round after a contentious injury time penalty for eventual
winners Italy.
A No brainer... Who in their right mind would want the N Korean job... Brazil, Ivory Coast and Portugal... lol
Man...this guy's CV would be doubly impressive if he went far with NK.
