Former Russia coach Guus Hiddink took over at Chelsea on a short-term contract back in Feb 2009 while continuing his international duties.
Hiddink was a popular figure in west London leading the club to the FA Cup and also secured Champions League qualification.
Benitez, meanwhile, has pledged his complete focus on Thursday's Europa League clash at Steaua Bucharest despite the distraction of next weekend's FA Cup quarter-final at Manchester United.
"One game at a time," he said following Chelsea's 1-0 Premier League defeat of West Brom on Saturday.
"We have to go to Bucharest before we can concentrate on (the United) game.
"Both games are important, but one is just one game and one is two legs."
