Chelsea interim manager questioned players upon arrival
Guus Hiddink has revealed the first thing he said to the Chelsea players after he arrived.
The Dutchman has taken over from Jose Mourinho after he was sacked on Thursday for the club’s poor start to the new season.
Hiddink has been at Stamford Bridge before, during an interim spell back in 2009, and he faced the media for the first time this morning.
Hiddink was asked about the mood in the camp and what he did when he first met the players on the training ground, and he’s revealed that he questioned all the players about their performances so far.
Hiddink Reveals Talks
“Yesterday I talked fully to the squad,” he said.
“I told them, things happen in football and I want them to look in the mirror, not just two seconds but longer, and see how they can contribute on the way up.
“I told them as professionals to look in the mirror and be ultra-critical.”
