Russian businessman Alisher Usmanov, the Russian Football Union has provided 300 million rubles. to repay the arrears of salary for the head coach of the Russian national team Fabio Capello.
The largest Russian businessman Alisher Usmanov continues to help the Russian Football Union to solve the financial problems. For the second time in the past six months, he decided to provide the organization with the means for the payment of wage arrears Fabio Capello size of 300 million rubles. (Approximately € 5 million). As reported in the press service of the businessman, the total amount of aid to cover the entire debt to the Football Association head coach today.
This amount exceeds the salary payable RFU Capello for two months, but she, probably intended for the payment of the entire coaching staff.
At the same time the current situation around Don Fabio and his future in the national team of Russia is uncertain. Recall that in the event of early termination of the contract with the Italian specialist size of its penalty, which would have to pay the RFU will be € 21,6 Mill. It is calculated by the formula »€ 32,5 млн minus the already-earned money.”
In connection with this conclusion is that the funds allocated RFU Alisher Usmanov may not have a relationship to the payment of a penalty Capello.
The businessman explained what the reason once again led him to support the RAF. But while his words difficult to draw a conclusion about the fate of coach of the Russian team.
«On the threshold of the home World Cup in 2018 the question of the head coach is crucial for the national football team – quoted Usmanov’s press service. – I share the concern of the Minister of Sports of Russia. The decision of the executive committee of the RFU should be taken primarily on the basis of the sports factors that could significantly improve the quality and stability of the game. ”
For the first time, Alisher Usmanov, has assisted the RAF in February this year, giving him a loan of 400 million rubles., When the Organization’s debt to Fabio Capello and all the coaching staff was eight months and, in addition, it has been big problems with Rostrud.
Italian teacher salary not paid since June last year, when the Russian national team under his the leadership acted on the World Cup in Brazil. Debt RFU front of him was, according to various estimates, from 350 million to 600 million rubles.
Italian specialist himself is sympathetic to the situation: the Office of Nikolai Tolstoy has not the best from a financial point of view times. It owes not just Capello, but also the general manager of the Russian national team Oreste Chinkvini and Russian businessman Leonid Fedun, who gave a loan to prepare the team to the very mundialyu.
The rumors about non-payment of the fee Capello appeared in September, and found confirmation in late autumn: a staff member of the RFU reported on the situation arisen in Rostrud – there initiated testing and identified debt to coach in 180 million rubles.
RFU ordered to pay with the Italian until December 19, but this did not happen. Then it was given monthly respite, however, and a new date to solve the financial problems was not possible. Rostrud even threatened to disqualify Tolstoy for violation of labor laws.
President of the Football Association is very abstract commented how he was going to get the money to Capello, he then went to answer the questions of the media, referring to some sponsors who finance the debt.
came to the aid of FIFA, which are listed RFU $ 350 thousand. But the money did not go to the head coach, and current needs.
At that moment, when the situation with the payment of debts began to heat up, come to the aid of the RAF Alisher Usmanov, which in 2014 he was recognized as Russia’s richest man with a fortune of $ 18.6 billion. Among other things, he is co-owner of London “Arsenal”.
It is interesting that the businessman RFU allocated free of charge of 300 million rubles. even on the eve of the 2014 world championship.
At the moment, the situation surrounding the future of Fabio Capello’s team in Russia remains uncertain. After losing the Russian national team in the qualifying match of the European Championship – in 2016 against Austria, would complicate the chances of the national team exit from the group, the question of the resignation of Italian specialist began to be discussed actively. Disappointment did not hide himself sports minister Vitaly Mutko, who said that has already taken a definite decision, but what is not said.
But Capello in place, according to media reports, several candidates have already tipped, in particular, the head coach of CSKA coach Leonid Slutsky, or “Krasnodar” Oleg Kononov. In both cases, the coaches will have a contract until 2018 with no possibility of combining the posts.
But the main problem in this regard is extremely large penalty payment in case of dismissal of Capello.
Today is actively discussed option, in which 69-year-old Italian expert will be dismissed from his post only if the team will lose the chance of getting into the final of the Euro 2016.
The acting president of the RFU Nikita Simonyan denied reports that a decision on the future of head coach of the Russian national team has already been taken, noting that the issue would be discussed at the executive committee of the RAF June 24th.
