The Russian national football team is heading to Hungary for a friendly match. There players and coaching staff will bid farewell to Guus Hiddink, who'll coach his final game as the manager of the Russian team.










That man must be a strange character. At 67 years old, he is either broke or a real money hungry costumer. Some Middle-East, oil rich state, also want to hire him, according to l'Equipe (French newspaper) and now he goes to The Ivory-Coast to participate in the World-Cup. Who does-he really think, he is ! How stupid can federations be to waste so much money on a notorious "name". In Russia's case, he was pushed by Abramovich. His departure is the best thing which could happen to Russian foot-ball. Just hope that a good Russian coach be found for not repeating the same mistake. Just remember: coaching a super-stars' team and a national team are two different jobs; it is not just talking English to the players. Best Regards and Good Luck to Russia's football.
