Hiddink won't Juventus hotseat

Guus Hiddink is not being lined up to replace Ciro Ferrara in the Juventus hotseat, according to his agent Cees Van Nieuwenhuizen.

Ferrara is currently under intense pressure following a dismal run of results which include a 3-0 defeat to rivals AC Milan in Turin on Sunday.

The Old Lady currently occupy third place in Serie A, 12 points behind leaders Inter Milan, while the club also crashed out of the UEFA Champions League at the group stage last month.

Hiddink briefly returned to club management with Chelsea for the second half of last season, ultimately leading the Blues to FA Cup success, but the Dutchman seems unlikely to return to day-to-day management with Juve.

"There haven't been contacts between Hiddink and Juventus," Van Nieuwenhuizen said.

"So he won't be the next Juve coach and that is 100 per cent."
