Kurban Berdyev has not indicated whether he is staying with Rostov or moving to Spartak.

      After the southern team led by him managed to secure a berth in the Premier League with a 4-1 win over Tosno, he was vague on his future in an interview.

      He said he is going to have a discussion with the governor of the Rostov Region that will decide his next career move.

      Earlier, Russia-IC reported that Kurban Berdyev is one of the candidates to be signed by Spartak Moscow as its new coach.

      According to newly appointed Spartak CEO Sergey Rodionov, the list is as follows: Dmitry Alenichev, Kurban Berdyev, and Viktor Goncharenko.

      Dmitry Alenichev, 42, a former Spartak player, has been tipped to become the new head coach for a long time. He is very popular with the team's fans.

      Berdyev led Rubin Kazan to two golds in the Premier League in 2008 and 2009, and now trains Rostov which is fighting for a berth in the top league.

      Goncharenko was head coach of Kuban Krasnodar, helping it to secure the 8th place and before that worked at Belarussian BATE.

      Earlier, Russia-IC reported that Spartak was eyeing former Bayern coach. Felix Magath has been offered 3 million euro a year, a sum that is significantly higher than the contact currently negotiated with FC Austria, said Sport24.

      Murat Yakin was doomed after a lackluster season, especially after humiliating defeats at the newly built stadium Otkritie.

      Also, Spartak owner Leonid Fedun stepped down as chairman of the board of directors after another unsuccessful year for the red and white.
