One of the main shareholders of London's "Arsenal", Alisher Usmanov, will have to save the prestige of the Russian national team.
The country's football federation cannot afford to pay the huge salary of the national team's coach Fabio Capello.
Recently, the Italian strategist received his wages before almost 8 months, and his debt reached 2.8 million US dollars.
Unable to find money in crisis-hit Russia, the country's officials decided to turn to the richest businessmen abroad.
Their attention turned to the billionaire A. Usmanov, who was asked to collect the necessary amount of money. After a conversation with Russia's sports minister Vitaly Mutko, the millionaire decided to comply and contribute to covering the debt.
It is estimated that F. Capello will be able to enjoy millions in his bank account in just a few days.
