MOSCOW (AFP) — Guus Hiddink will coach the Ivory Coast at the World Cup providing he can break his contract with Russia which expires in July, his agent said on Friday.

Cees van Nieuwenhuizen confirmed that Hiddink has signed a deal with the African side, adding he was ready to come to Moscow to cancel Hiddink's contract with the Russian Football Union (RFU).
""We need to give our final answer to Cote d'Ivoire within two weeks,"" van Nieuwenhuizen said.
""But we can do nothing before we are under contract with Russia. I hope we will find the solution that fits everybody before the end of March.""
