Fabio Capello’s compensation will reportedly be paid out in several installments, says Sovetsky Sport.
According to the sports daily, the bonus for early dismissal totals 20 million euro.
Russia was not able to slim it down but managed to get permission for it to be disbursed in several tranches, the daily quotes a source as saying.
Fabio Capello was fired as national team coach earlier in July. The list of candidates for the top job features CSKA coach Leonid Slutsky, Oleg Kononov from Krasnodar, and Alexander Borodyuk, former member of the coach team.
After a lackluster performance against Austria, Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko admitted the situation with football in Russia is so desperate that he was ready to take part in the elections of the Russian Football Union. He also told journalists the decision on Capello has been taken. He did not disclose what that decision is, but he promised to make it public by the end of June.
Earlier, Mutko insisted he would not step down as Sports Minister to head the Russian Football Union. According to him, he is the coordinator in charge of the 2018 World Cup to be hosted by Russia so he has to stay in the job to maintain overall control of the project.
The head of the Russian Football Union was voted out of office after repeated scandals, including over Capello's pay.
Earlier Russia-IC reported that the head of the Russian Football Union was fined over the Fabio Capello pay delay.
Rostrud, the governmental labor watchdog, slapped a 4,000 rouble fine on Nikolay Tolstykh, and a 40,000 rouble fine on the union for failing to comply with the Labor Code. According to the Russian law, they are the employer for the coach of the national team.
Earlier, Russia-IC reported that UEFA President Michel Platini came to Moscow to resolve the Capello pay issue, according to Sovsport.ru.
