Former Australia coach Guus Hiddink has dismissed reports he will replace Jose Mourinho as Chelsea manager in the summer.
Speculation continues to suggest that Portuguese boss Mourinho will be forced out of the London club after falling out with Blues owner Roman Abramovich earlier this season.
But Dutchman Hiddink, currently in charge of the Russian national side since last summer, told BBC's Football Focus: "It's not an issue, I work with a lot of satisfaction where I am now.
"I still have a year on my contract with Russia. I hope we will qualify for Euro 2008 and that I can go on with Russia."
Hiddink feels the source of the rumours about a move to England is the fact he is charge of Russia - Abramovich's homeland.
He added: "I am linked with the job because Roman Abramovich is the owner of Chelsea and he is Russian and I am the Russia coach.
"Let's be frank and open, every now and then I do talk to him - but not about the Chelsea job.
"Chelsea are doing really well in the Champions League and it's not an issue for me, nor is it for them."
