The agent of Guus Hiddink has hinted at talks with Liverpool.

Cees van Nieuwenhuizen confirmed that Turkey were interested in appointing former Chelsea manager, but said they were just one of nine suitors for his client.

"I have spoken with representatives of four clubs and five national federations," Van Nieuwenhuizen told Sovetskiy Sport. "Almost all of the options have previously been mentioned in the press - Manchester City, Liverpool, Juventus, etc.

"However, as I have repeatedly said, we have not held talks with anyone.

"To all we have said that there must first be talks with the new president of Russian FA and to know his position on the future."

Van Nieuwenhuizen was keen to stress that no option was being discounted and he rejected any suggestion that Hiddink is too old to return to club management.

"It all depends on how a club is organised," said the agent. "For example, if the model is like Manchester United and Alex Ferguson, then Guus would be interested.

"After all, Sir Alex is not so much a coach at his club than a manager or technical director, identifying the club's transfer policy and organising the entire workforce.

"Ferguson does not even attend first-team training every day. This is a well-known fact!

"But Sir Alex is older than Guus. So I can easily imagine Hiddink leading a serious European club under such a model.

"But for now I see no point in speculating about it, because Guus's contract with the Russian FA is until the summer and perhaps it will be extended."
