MOSCOW:
Russia’s football authorities are considering former England boss Fabio Capello as their new national coach, reports said, as the Italian was expected in Moscow for initial talks. Capello has been rumoured for several days to be the Russian Football Union’s (RFU) first choice for taking over the country’s national squad to lead it into the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign after Dick Advocaat stepped down. The former RFU press spokesman and leading Russian football expert Andrei Malosolov said that Capello is expected to come to Moscow to carry out negotiations with the RFU. “Flash! Capello is coming to Moscow on Thursday for negotiations,” Malosolov wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.
