Fabio Capello has a horrible World Cup record and his Russian team's abysmal performance didn't win him any favours in Moscow. Rabble rousing populist politician Vladmir Zhirinovsky isn’t best pleased with the manager who presided over Russia’s tame campaign, and has come out with what must surely go down as one of the best quotes of the tournament.
It’s pretty good to get [millions] for doing nothing. The team lost and it doesn’t affect his pay in any way. Thief! Even the way he looks makes it hard to like him. He looks like a schoolteacher.
Capello is set to be hauled in front of the Russian parliament to explain himself after his side's lacklustre performances saw them finish in third place in their group.
Russia will host the next World Cup and Capello is contracted until that time, he will have to explain how he intends to move his team forward in order to justify his position and £7 million a year pay packet.
