Hiddink has admitted he has been approached to manage in the Chinese Super
League.
"I had some possibilities to go there in the recent past," said Hiddink, who
did not expand on the comment.
Ramires was sold to Jiangsu Suning by Chelsea last month for a reported £25m
as part of a wider investment in football, with other players also heading
to the Chinese Super League.
Jiangsu Suning are managed by former Chelsea defender Dan Petrescu, while
Sven-Goran Eriksson and Luiz Felipe Scolari are also bosses in China.
Hiddink reckons China is an attractive option for many, but so too is the
Premier League, which has a global appeal and will soon have a further
influx of cash from the new broadcast coverage deal, which is worth
£5billion domestically.
"Of course, when you travel around the world, the Premier League is so
attractive, attracting a lot of people," added Hiddink, whose side play
Manchester United on
Super Sunday, live on
Sky Sports.
"In the biggest cities to the smallest villages, wherever in the world there
is a satellite showing Premier League.
"(And) clubs in England cannot complain about having no income in the near
future."
