It is 'impossible' for Guus Hiddink to leave his job as manager of Turkey to make any possible SOS return to Chelsea, according to the Dutchman's agent.
Reports have suggested that Stamford Bridge owner Roman Abramovich will again turn to the 64-year-old if his patience with Carlo Ancelotti reaches breaking point in the wake of the club's worst run of form since 1998.
Hiddink and Abramovich are friends after building a working relationship during the former's time as Russia manager, which led to his successful three-month appointment as Chelsea boss in 2009 following the sacking of Luiz Felipe Scolari.
But Hiddink is now only six months into a four-year contract as manager of Turkey and his representative, Cees van Nieuwenhuizen, insists there is no chance of his client returning to the club he guided to FA Cup success.
Van Nieuwenhuizen told The Independent ahead of defending Premier League champions Chelsea's match against Bolton: "I consider that as impossible.
"It was much easier before (in 2009) for us to come to an agreement with the Russian Federation, as his job there was partly paid for by Abramovich. We were able to look at it in a different way.
"Now it is quite a challenge for Turkey to achieve qualification to Euro 2012. I think the Turkish Federation would never allow him to do a double job.
"And Guus would never consider walking out on the Turkish Federation to come to London. He enjoyed very much his time at Chelsea. But there is no chance, no chance, of him going back."
