Russian Football Union (RFU) announced a list of 13 candidates to coach the national team.
The list includes famous names: the former "Barcelona" strategist Pep Guardiola, currently unemployed Rafael Benitez, Fabio Capello who left the English national team at the beginning of the year, recently dismissed Harry Redknapp from London's "Tottenham", Marcelo Bielsa coaching Bilbao's "Athletic", and the famous Italian Marcelo Lippi.
The list also includes Russian names: Valery Gazzaev, who has already coached the national team, Nikolai Pisarev, the coach of the Russian youth national team, Yury Krasnozhan, leading the country's second team, Valery Nepomnyashchy, who led the Cameroon national team, Yury Semin, the manager of Kiev's "Dynamo", Andrei Kobelev, who once coached Moscow's "Dynamo", and Anatoly Byshovets, who directed the South Korean national team at the 1996 Olympic Games.
One of them should replace the Dutchman Dick Advocaat, who announced before the 2012 European Championship that he would return to work in his homeland. The Russians were already eliminated from these championships after the group stage.
