Fabio Capello would not consider taking on the workload being contemplated by Chelsea target Guus Hiddink.

Russia coach Hiddink is in talks with the Stamford Bridge club over replacing the sacked Luiz Felipe Scolari until the end of the season.

The Dutchman has filled a similar dual role in the past when he was at the helm of PSV Eindhoven while also coaching Australia.

But England boss Capello, who has also coached at the very highest level in the club game with AC Milan and Real Madrid, is not keen on such a level of multi-tasking.

When asked about Hiddink's possible split responsibilities, the Italian said: "It is not my problem. I know he did it before with Australia and PSV.

"I prefer to think about one job, not two."

Character

Capello believes that domestic and international management are worlds apart and that coaches have to adapt to each discipline.

"They are two completely different jobs," he added.

"As a club manager you coach every day and you can change the style in a very short space of time. You can speak with the players about problems.

"With the national team it is different. I meet the players every 45 days. If you want to change a lot of things, you only have a very short time to work.

"In that situation, the character of the coach is very important."
