Moscow leaders dismissed head coach Miodrag Bozovic after losing in the quarterfinals of the Russian Cup tournament.

The specialist from Montenegro will be temporarily replaced by his assistant, Sergei Silkin.

"One of our main goals was to win the Russian Cup, but we failed to do so, so it's only natural that I have to step down," Bozovic said.

In five rounds of the national championships, "Dinamo" collected seven points and currently holds 9th place.

Bozovic became the second coach to lose his job this season. Just a few days ago, Valery Karpin, who coached Moscow's "Spartak," was also dismissed.
