Fabio Capello has decided to leave the position of head coach of the Russian national men's football team due to poor results. The Russians he coached are in danger and may not qualify for the 2016 European Championship.
The Russian Football Federation announced that the contract was terminated by mutual agreement. F.Capello led the Russian team for three years and was supposed to continue working until the 2018 World Cup, which will be held in Russia.
The Italian specialist faced pressure already after last year's World Cup, when the Russians did not advance from the group stage.
The country may also miss the European Championship next year. In the qualifying group, the Russians are currently in third place.
F.Capello earned as much as 7 million euros per year with the Russian national team. It is said that his departure will cost the Russians another 21 million.
At the moment, the Russian Football Federation is drowning in debts. At one point, F.Capello did not receive his salary for eight months.
