Hiddink warns players to perform or face axe

New Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink has laid down the law to his players, telling them they have an obligation to succeed.

The 69-year-old was speaking ahead of Watford’s visit, his first game in his second stint back at the club with ex-boss Jose Mourinho sacked last Thursday.

Mourinho was sacked despite guiding the Blues to the Premier League title last season, with the side enduring a spectacular collapse and getting sucked into the relegation fight this term.

And Hiddink has announced to his squad that he expects an immediate turnaround in form and results, demanding to see desire from his charges.

“Even if your boss is only temporary, he can kick you around,” the former Netherlands coach told reporters. “I’m not going to be begging them [the players] to perform.

“They have a profound obligation to perform. They are here at a big club. They are well paid. They must have the heart full of the desire of an amateur.
