Russia Football Union still struggling to pay Capello

The Russia Football Union president Nikolai Tolstoy has admitted there are still problems in paying Fabio Capello and his coaching staff.

Fabio Capello continues to go unpaid as head coach of Russia, the country's Football Union (RFU) president Nikolai Tolstoy has revealed.

Former Milan, Real Madrid and England manager Capello signed a new contract with Russia until its home World Cup in 2018 last July, but there have been ongoing issues regarding his salary.

The RFU admitted it was struggling to pay Capello's wages in November, and Tolstoy confirmed the problems still exist.

"There is still no dedicated source to pay the wages of Capello," he told Russia 24.
