"FC Spartak Moscow fires head coach"

Maskva's "Spartak" team management has decided to make changes - due to poor results, the Russian club has parted ways with coach Massimo Carrera.

The Russian team announced that Raul Riancho has been appointed as the interim strategist.

The 54-year-old specialist M. Carrera led the "Spartak" team to victory in the local championship in the 2016-2017 season, ending a 16-year period of failure.

However, this year the club played inconsistently and failed to qualify for the Champions League group stage.

In the Russian Premier League, the Moscow team is currently in 7th place.
