Fabio Capello has reportedly agreed to replace Dick Advocaat as the next Coach of the Russian national team.
The 66-year-old former Milan, Roma and Juventus Coach has been out of work since resigning his post with the England national team in February.
Earlier this week Capello was named as one of 13 possible candidates to take the job with the Russian Football Union and on Thursday he held preliminary talks for the position.
Russian publication Sport Express believe that those talks have led to an agreement between the Coach and the Russians on a two-year deal that Capello will sign next week. This backs up Russian Minister of Sport Vitali Mutko’s claim that a decision would be reached by July 22.
The Italian is set to be paid €5m a year to take the country through their 2014 World Cup qualification phase.
