• Former Chelsea and Real Madrid coach in talks with Dutch FA
• Stam, Van Nistelrooy and Van Bronckhorst linked with roles too
Guus Hiddink says he is line to take over from Louis van Gaal as coach of Holland after the World Cup in Brazil.
The former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager told Dutch broadcaster NOS that he was in talks with the FA over the make-up of his backroom staff.
"I am working with the KNVB [Dutch FA] to create a coaching team around me. We will need a few days or maybe a couple of weeks," he said. "It will be a great team. I will not be a free-wheeling coach. When I do something I want to do it as well as I can – otherwise I would not do it."
Former internationals Jaap Stam, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Giovanni van Bronckhorst have all been linked with possible roles in Hiddink's technical team.
Hiddink was also in charge of Holland between 1994 and 1998, taking the side to the semi-finals of the World Cup in France where they lost to Brazil on penalties.
He has also coached South Korea, Australia, Russia and Turkey and was most recently in charge of Russian Premier League side Anzhi Makhachkala, before resigning last July. Hiddink was last month appointed as an adviser to the coaching staff of top-flight PSV Eindhoven until the end of the season.
Holland have been drawn in Group B for the World Cup in June, alongside champions Spain, Chile and Australia.
