Harry Redknapp, Rafael Benitez,
Pep Guardiola and Fabio Capello
are among a list of 13 coaches
named on a shortlist by the
Russian Football Union (RFU) in
its quest to appoint a new
manager.
- Russia to announce job
candidates
The RFU announced on Monday
its intention to reveal a shortlist
of candidates on Tuesday as
the nation is currently without
a boss after Dick Advocaat
stepped down following their
group stage exit at Euro 2012.
Manchester City manager
Roberto Mancini had been
linked with the position, but on
Monday it was confirmed by
the Premier League champions
that the Italian had agreed a
new five-year contract.
Instead, Russia's list comprises
of: Benitez, Anatoliy Byshovets,
Bielsa, Valery Gazzaev,
Guardiola, Capello, Andrey
Kobelev, Yuri Krasnozhan,
Marcelo Lippi, Valery
Nepomniaschy, Nikolai Pisarev,
Redknapp and Yuri Semin.
Redknapp is currently without a
club after parting company
with Tottenham in June, while
Benitez has been jobless since
being sacked by Inter Milan in
2010. Guardiola, meanwhile, is
currently taking time away
from management after calling
time at Barcelona.
Capello is a free agent after
leaving his post with England in
February while his Italian
compatriot Lippi currently
oversees Chinese side
Guangzhou Evergrande. Bielsa's
future at Athletic Bilbao has
recently been the subject of
conjecture.
