Guus Hiddink does not believe there is any way he could combine his duties as Turkey boss with a position in club management.

Hiddink took charge of Chelsea on a temporary basis last year while he remained at the helm of Russia.

He will leave his post with Russia this summer to become Turkey chief and has vowed to focus fully on his new role.

"I'm fully committed to Turkish football and to the Turkish Federation," he told a news conference on Monday.

"Regarding your question that I could do another job with another club together with the federation, there is no way to do so."

Bright future

Turkey failed to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa but he insists there is a lot to look forward to.

"I think the future of Turkish football will be very healthy," said Hiddink before adding his first task was to qualify for Euro 2012.

Turkish Football Federation chairman Mahmut Ozgener is in no doubt the Dutchman is the right man for the job.

"We will work for stable success in the new period, hand in hand with the new technical director (coach). Our confidence in him is endless," said Ozgener.

"Our restructuring process has been completed. The people who we believe can best realise this new model are now in place."
