Almost 15 years after guiding Australia to the 2006 World Cup, Guus Hiddink will return to the dugout at ANZ Stadium to coach in the Football For Fires charity game.

The Dutch coach accepted an invitation to coach one of the two teams comprised of ex-international legends with his former understudy, Graham Arnold, to coach the other.

Football Federation Australia confirmed Hiddink's return to the site where he guided Australia to its historic qualifying success over Uruguay to reach the World Cup for the first time in 32 years.

"Having a true legend of world football, and one of my mentors, in Guus Hiddink in the other technical area will be fantastic. I spoke to Guus last night and he was equally honoured to have been invited to Australia for the match and to play a role in Australia’s recovery efforts," Arnold said.

The first announcement of players was released on Tuesday and included Didier Drogba, David Trezeguet, Claudio Marchisio and Park Ji-Sung

The May 23 match will be the last football game played at Olympic Park before the stadium undergoes renovation.
