Spanish specialist Juande Ramos has left CSKA Moscow - the second time this season the Army Men have parted ways with a manager.
Fresh off a 3-1 loss to city rivals FC Moscow on Sunday, which was a massive blow to CSKA's Champions League hopes, the club issued a statement saying Ramos had left after an amicable agreement.
The Spaniard, former Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid manager, only took over 47 days ago, following Zico's departure from the CSKA top seat, after yet another tenure of only six months.
“We need to build a new team, which only a Russian manager can do,” CSKA president Evgeny Giner told Russia’s Radio Sport. “The contract was signed for 3 years. Our trust in Slutsky is as big as our enthusiasm about the club’s prospects,” he added.
Leonid Slutsky now takes charge of the three-time Russian champions. The 38-year-old is known for his work with FC Moscow and Krylya Sovetov.
