Agent: Manchester City enquired about Hiddink

"Guus is happy with Russia. Definitely," Cees van Nieuwenhuizen told the Daily Telegraph.

"I had a call because I have been working with (City chief executive) Garry (Cook) for 12 years since we worked together at Nike. But I have received calls from all over the world about Guus. There has also been an approach from Juventus."

"I said I didn't think it was worth having a meeting ... he is contracted until next summer but there is an offer for him to stay for two more years and I think he will definitely stay."

The agent said he did not discuss what position City might have offered Hiddink, whose Russia team failed to qualify for next year's World Cup finals in South Africa after being eliminated by Slovenia in a playoff.
