Fabio Capello reportedly agrees to become the new manager of Russia following his departure from the England role earlier this year.

Former England manager Fabio Capello has reportedly agreed to take over the Russian national side.

The Italian has been linked to the position in the last few weeks, with the Russian Football Federation recently confirming their interest in the ex-Real Madrid boss.

It is thought that Capello flew to Moscow yesterday to meet with senior officials and has agreed to become their new manager, according to Sky Sports News.

Capello was one of 13 potential managers on a shortlist for the national side, with former Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp also considered for the role.
