The coach of the Russian national team receives an unusual salary

Last autumn Leonidas Sluckis was appointed as the coach of the Russian national team, becoming the first Russian after a nine-year break at the helm of the national football team, lrytas.lt wrote.

L.Sluckis made an unusual agreement with his country's football federation.

He agreed to work without pay for the remaining 2016 European Championship qualifying matches, while previously Italian Fabio Capello, who coached the Russian national team, was paid an impressive annual salary of 7 million euros by the Russian federation.

L.Sluckis' contract was based only on bonuses.

After winning four matches (against Sweden, Liechtenstein, Moldova and Montenegro) and leading the Russian national team to the European Championships, the coach received a $100,000 bonus, like every player.

Therefore, L.Sluckis occupies an unusually low position in the list of salaries of national team coaches playing in the 2016 European Championship compiled by "Finance Football":
