“Chelsea’s season is a disaster”

– Chelsea’s interim coach Guus Hiddink has dubbed his team’s season as a disaster

– Hiddink says he was asked to get Chelsea out of relegation zone, with no other targets when he took over from Jose Mourinho

– He says he had to re-set the team’s goals and that is why they look more destined to finish in the top half of the league despite a torrid start

Chelsea’s season, which leaves the London side no chance of making it to Europe next season is a “disaster”, according to Guus Hiddink.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of the Blues clash against Liverpool on Wednesday, May 11, Hiddink said Chelsea’s season can be consider as a failure even as the team failed to challenge for silverware.

“Yeah, it would be a disaster. Of course, when I talk about big words like disaster, I think of bigger things in the world.

“When we zoom into the football world, you may call it a disaster. Chelsea must be always in the top, as they are used to. Even better, fighting for silverware.

“I was asked to get out of relegation zone, with no other targets. I talked in a positive way when unexpected things happened before.  You re-set your goals, as a team, which we did.”
