Mikel wants Hiddink to reconsider exit

Midfielder John Obi Mikel wants interim manager Guus
Hiddink to extend his stay at Chelsea beyond the current
season, despite the Dutchman confirming his intention to
leave the club in May.
Hiddink replaced Jose Mourinho in December and has
lost just once in 13 games in all competitions with the
same squad that suffered their worst start to a league
season since 1978 under the Portuguese.
"Obviously, definitely I want him to stay," Mikel, who has
featured in 11 games for Hiddink after falling out of favour under Mourinho, told
British media.
"It is the choice of the owner, the club and the board... but if you speak to the
players, 98 or 99 percent of them want him to stay."
Hiddink, 69, said on Friday that he would leave as planned after the current
campaign but Mikel feels there is a chance he may stay on.
"It depends on the board and it depends on Guus if he wants to continue. He has
said that he is here until the end of the season but you never know, he might
change his mind," the 28-year-old Nigerian added.
"If the club want to appoint him, fair enough. His record speaks for itself."
