| John Terry made his 700th appearance for Chelsea against Everton |
Terry scored the Blues equaliser in Saturday's 3-3 draw with Everton to rescue a point for the Premier League champions.
Hiddink highlighted the importance and influence of the 35-year-old after the match and claims there are few differences between the Terry he coached at Stamford Bridge in 2009 and the one he works with today.
And the Dutchman intimated he will tell the board to hand Terry another one-year deal after making his 700th appearance for the club against the Toffees.
Hiddink told the club's official website: "Not just with his equalising goal, but with his attitude and the actions he did defensively and offensively. His commitment is huge for this team and for the club.
"For me there's not much [difference] between John in 2009 and now. He's fit, he trains well, he takes care of himself, takes a good rest, which you have to do at that age. I cannot see that he is slowing down a bit.
"If I am asked [about a new contract for Terry] I will give my honest opinion about that. If I say what I'm saying now, spontaneously out of my heart, then you can imagine what I think."
