As far as I've read it's around 7 million (euros) a year

Also, as I said in the other thread, Hiddink could still coach another country in the World Cup since his contract with Turkey doesn't begin until August. Nigeria, North Korea and Ivory Coast have already approached him for the job.

apparently alot otherwise they wouldn't be looking for another one to lead them in the WC Drogba apparently asked his coach Ancelotti if he was interested, and when he said no he gave Hiddink a call in an attempt to convince him to accept Ivory Coast's approach.

and what was hiddink's reply?
A Dutch football site, here's the link although I don't know how useful it'll be lol http://www.vi.nl/Nieuws-item-TS1/176377/Hiddink-lijkt-te-kiezen-voor-Turkije-en-belt-met-Drogba.htm
It's the most reliable source for football news in Holland. Basically the Ivory Coast FA (like the Nigerian and North Korean ones) have approached Hiddink to take over the team for the WC. Drogba, who was impressed after Hiddink's time at Chelsea last year, contacted Hiddink to try and convince him to accept Ivory Coast's approach. However Drogba first asked his current coach Ancelotti if he's interested, and Ancelotti said no. And Hiddink's reply was that he's not considering any offers yet because he wants to wrap things up with the Russian FA first. After that he'll consider if and with who he'll go to the WC.

It's 99% sure that Hiddink will coach Ivory Coast in the World Cup. Ivory Coast is not happy with their current coach Halilhodzic (and has every reason to not be seeing how they played in the ACN with the exception of the Ghana match) and approached other coaches; as far as I know Gerets rejected and Ancelotti said he wasn't interested, but Hiddink has said yes to the job and the only thing standing in the way now is his contract with Russia; however this seems like a formality, there's no reason Russia should keep him to his contract which ends in July. If all goes as planned he'll be IC's coach in the WC and afterwards start his job in Turkey.
Hiddink is still under contract at Russia and he can't go to Ivory Coast until his contract is terminated..also, I just read that also the players admit that the reason IC underperformed at the ACN was because there was no chemistry in the team. Kolo Touré said that it's something the coach should solve, and not the players. Also, there's rumours that their lack of teamwork is because of there being two separate groups in the squad: a 'camp-Drogba' and a 'camp-Yaya Touré'. Drogba denied this but it's clear that Halilhodzic was not up to the challenge of forming a team out of all the stars; they need a bigger, better coach than him. Someone like Hiddink would do the trick but he first has to get out of his contract at Russia.
