RUSSIAN FOOTBALL UNION CONFIRMS FABIO CAPELLO AS NATIONAL TEAM COACH.
Less than five months after quitting as coach of the English national team, Fabio Capello has once again taken up another job as coach of the Russian National team after signing a two year contract with the Russian Football Union (RFU) on thursday.
Initially, there was a disagreement in the terms of the contract leading to a delay in sealing the deal but all that seems sorted now with local media reporting the 66 year old manager might earn up to 10 million Euros per annum depending on his performance. His Immediate task will be to rebuild the Russian national team that faltered in the just concluded Euro competition after an impressive start with the hope of taking them to the World Cup finals in Rio de Janeiro come 2014.
The Italian had previously indicated that the England role would be his last in management but things came to an abrupt halt when Capello found himself at odds with the FA over John Terry and he had this to say at his unveiling.
"After I had finished working in England, I was angry, and I wanted to continue working. I really want to achieve your goals and fight for the Cup in Brazil."
"It does not really matter with whom we compete. I now have a new beginning in a coaching career. I'll try to get my philosophy to match that which has brought the Russian national team success, and we will go to the World Cup in Brazil."
Nikita Simonyan, president of the RFU in his own remark promised that the organisation will not interfere with the coach on on-field affairs. "If he decides to make (Andrey) Arshavin captain, so be it."
Capello who announced his intention to live in Moscow will be assisted by Christian Panucci and Italo Galbiati as he continues to build an enviable track record of excellence in his coaching career. Real Madrid, A.C Milan, A.S Roma and England are some of the teams he has coached previously.
