According to the Jiangsu Suning midfielder, Hiddink’s reluctance to give him playing time resulted in him leaving.
The former Benfica man said he had a good working relationship with his former coaches including Jose Mourinho and though he was not not a guaranteed starter, he was givennn ample of playing time.
Hiddink has so far played John Mikel Obi since he arrived in December which might have been the reasn why Ramires is bitter.
“One of the big reasons I left Chelsea was the arrival of the new coach [Hiddink],” Ramires told The Sun.

“It wasn’t just because I had a good relationship with Jose [Mourinho]. But when he was in charge, I knew there was a chance of playing and that the fight for a place in the team was always open.
“Yet when Hiddink arrived, he took me out of the side for no reason. I couldn’t understand why because I had played well and fought hard for a team that was having difficulties.
“He didn’t like me as a player or my way and decided very rashly that he wasn’t going to give me an opportunity to fight for a place in his team.
“Even when I played the full 90 minutes against Scunthorpe, the next match in the Premier League I was not involved.
“Hiddink’s arrival really complicated things for me and I just don’t know why… but I guess that’s football.”
The Brazilian completed a £25 million move to Jiangsu Suning in the January transfer window, one of several top players from the South American country that have opted to ply their trade in the Chinese Super League.
He spent six years at Stamford Bridge.
