Former Netherlands boss Guus Hiddink is set to become Chelsea’s interim manager following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
The 69-year-old Dutchman is currently at a London hotel holding discussions with Blues officials.
Hiddink, who has already had one spell as Chelsea boss, winning the FA Cup in 2009, is yet to sign a contract.
The Blues are currently 16th in the Premier League table, just one point above the relegation zone after losing nine of their first 16 games.
Mourinho was sacked as manager on Thursday, just seven months after guiding Chelsea to the Premier League title.
Hiddink won six Dutch league titles and the European Cup across two spells as PSV Eindhoven manager.
He has also coached South Korea, Australia and Russia before leading Chelsea to FA Cup success in 2009.
