John Terry believes Guus Hiddink is the only man to lead Chelsea after reports linked the Premier League club with a move for Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti.
Hiddink has revitalised Chelsea since taking over from Luiz Felipe Scolari on a temporary basis earlier this season.
But the Dutchman's contract runs out in May and his insistence that he will resume his role as Russia coach on a full-time basis has reportedly forced the Blues to sound out Ancelotti about the job.
However, Terry has been impressed by Hiddink's methods and wants Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to do everything in his power to keep the former PSV Eindhoven manager at Stamford Bridge.
"Hiddink has a good relationship with Abramovich," Terry said.
"Things have gone very well and I'm sure there will be talks ongoing. If we keep progressing there's only going to be one option.
"He's done brilliantly. He's on at us every day in training, and he doesn't let anyone get away with anything."
