Guus Hiddink is ready to sue the Russian Football Union as he has not been paid since January, the coach’s agent Cees van Nieuwenhuizen said.

According to the agent, his client is going to wait until June 15, and if the situation remains unchanged he will go to court.

“I will not deny that Hiddink’s cooperation with the national team of Turkey is in full swing. But this is nothing but Guus’s reaction to the behavior of the Russian Football Union, with which Hiddink is fed up with. The Federation has not paid him his salary since January,” Nieuwenhuizen told Sovetsky Sport newspaper.

The Dutch specialist formally remains the manager of the Russian national team, but he has already started working with Turkey, which he will officially take charge of on August 1.

Turkey lost 2-1 to the United States in a friendly at the weekend.

“Meanwhile, [Hiddink] continued to faithfully perform his duties in Russia – made a trip to February’s Euro draw in Warsaw, headed the team in a friendly against Hungary in March. But if the RFU doesn’t fulfill their contractual obligations for six months, why must Hiddink fulfill them on his side? In the 30 years that I have spent in football, I have never encountered anything of a kind. It is a disgrace,” the agent added.

Guus Hiddink has been the most successful coach of the Russian national team since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The 63-year-old led Russia to the semis of Euro 2008, which they reached by beating Hiddink’s native Holland in an epic quarterfinal, but failed to take them to World Cup 2010.

He signed a two-and-a-half-year contract worth $2.4 million a year with Russia in 2006.

Yes it can be hard for Westerners to live by the standards of integrity, the Westerners just use the model of fine words and evil deeds, a rip off and litigate culture. Its going to be a long road to educate them about honouring deals. When they just work on the model of exploiting deals to the point of breach of contract or gross negligence. Look at the Western Big Polluter, a great example. It gets a licence deal, has decision making based on minimising costs, regardless of risk and then you have it, a licence exploited through lack of integrity to the point where the ordinary US citizen, not the 'little people' as the Swedish think, have to pick up the real cost to their livlihoods. Russians don't accept this lack of integrity, lack of accounatbility, lack of responsibility, we don't accept moving all commercial failures, be that banks or oil companies to the balance sheets of the nations citizens. Instead we go after the leaders and make them accountable; shock horror, not cricket that! It is contary to the western privileged model of the financial elite, that are untouchable and the ordinary people pick up the bill. However, it is in line with normal contract law, where both parties have to honour the contract! and where good faith should be the moto, something the west nether understands the meaning of or is prepared to apply, becuase of its dishonest greedy, hegemonic nature.

If Russia wants to be part of the wider world, it has to adopt at least the minimal standards of the wider world. Foreigners, from Russia's neighbours to its football coach, are utterly unimpressed with Russia expecting them all to live by Russian standards.

Send him home! He lost the qualifiers to the World Cup: no results, no money! That's how it should work. I think Russia is always very "naife" toward things coming from the West. Get a grip and start to be tough! Poor performance means you loose your your paycheck. He's got plenty of money already in any case. I totally agree with "Meslin", cannot have a "foreign legion" person at the top. Please get real and set forth strict rules; Russia, wake up and stop being foreigner-adict :-)
