Guus Hiddink has pulled out of the race to lead Ivory Coast at the
World Cup in June.
Hiddink wrote in his newspaper column Saturday that taking
charge of the Ivory Coast temporarily could have affected his
commitment to Russia and Turkey, his current and future employers.
Turkey will play friendlies against Ireland, Czech Republic
and the U.S. at the end of May.
"If I had signed for Ivory Coast, then I would have missed
these games and to tell the truth I don't think that something for
me to do," Hiddink wrote in De Telegraaf.
Philippe Trousier is another coach being linked to leading
Ivory Coast in South Africa.
