Russia may terminate Hiddink's contract
26 February 2010 / AP, MOSCOW
New Russian Football Union president Sergei Fursenko says it may terminate coach Guus Hiddink's contract before it ends in June.
Fursenko told reporters after a council meeting on Thursday there were seven or eight candidates to take over Hiddink. The decision on a new coach will be taken in a month or two. He then hinted that the contract with the Dutchman can be concluded.
Hiddink, who's contract expires on June 30, has already agreed to a two-year contract to coach Turkey until August 2012 with an option for two additional years.
Hiddink's contract hadn't been on the meeting agenda.
He guided Russia to the semifinals of the 2008 European Championship but the team fell short of qualifying for this year's World Cup.
