The new coach of the Russian national team, Fabio Capello, has officially been appointed. One of the most famous football specialists from Italy will soon arrive in Moscow to sign the contract.

The 66-year-old strategist resigned from his position as head coach of the England national team at the beginning of this year. Previously, he has managed teams such as "Real Madrid", "Juventus", "Roma", and "AC Milan".

Capello will replace the Dutchman Dick Advocaat, who recently confirmed his return to work in his homeland after the end of the European Championship. In the continental competition, the Russians experienced a failure and did not make it past the group stage.
