Chelsea's departing manager Guus Hiddink said winning the FA Cup was one of his biggest achievements in the game.
Hiddink's came back from a goal down to beat Everton 2-1 at Wembley, ending his Chelsea reign with the club's first trophy in two years.
"Again today, the team has shown once more that they react always and that's why I like to work with this team," Hiddink said.
"Of course [I will miss them], we talked a lot about this. It was not just an inbetween job.
"I loved it so much, I enjoyed so much working with big stars, but these big stars they knew exactly what it's all about,. I think they showed in the Premier League, in the Champions League and now today that they have a lot character.
"This is one of the biggest [achievements in my career], the Champions League final was a long time ago.
"But winning the FA Cup in the Mecca [Wembley] of world football, that's something you cannot believe."

LOL... I just read this news on some tall interesting place called: ___Tallconnect Co M____ the most popular place for h ot mo dels, handsome men me et and mi ngle! u might be surprise what u end up with!!LOL :-)
Nice parting gift to Guus - interesting to see chavs only lost to one team in the league ! Wonder who that was ?? LOL. They had too much for the toffees on the day, who after the goal hardly created a chance again, maybe Saha's header over was the best chance.
What a coach...what a personality...Russia is proud to have you, Guus...In Guus we trust!
congratulations to mr saha 25 second goal fantastic di mateo kept it a long time now the record is yours keep it well and share it with your loved ones
Well done Chelsea, and Guus Hiddink. It should have been 3-1, as Malouda's shot at goal that hit the cross bar definitely went over the goal line, but it didn't make any difference to the result, the best team on the day won, it was a good game, and not many bad tackles, Thank you Chelsea and Everton.
theres so much anger in the world eh colin H?
thank God for the decision to sack scolari and bring in this dutchman
A great F.A.Cup Final.2 great sides 2 great managers.Guus did a great job with Chelsea and he will be missed in the EPL.English football was the winner today with a cracking Final.
i'm a chelsea fan from lagos. i will support russia in their world cup campaigne. i wish our dear hiddinks greater glory than this wembley's

Hiddink is fantastis, he proves it up chelsea.
It was great to see Chelsea and Everton play in the FA Cup final, especially since these teams have great managers - David Moyes and Guus Hiddink. I think both of them deserved to win today, but realistically, you can not compare Chelsea's financial backing to Everton's. Guus is much more experienced in the game and he managed to get the best out of his star players in a short period of time. Otherwise, I am sure they would get beaten. Both teams showed great spirit and determination today, and this is because they have got managers who are able to create this kind of atmosphere inside their team. Hiddink will be greatly missed, and I also hope Moyes continues to do a great job at Everton, there is still a lot of potential in his squad.
Thank you Guus,you did the best for Chelsea.We will miss you,I can only say that Russia is very lucky to have a coach like you..God bless you
