Ex-Man United winger Andrei Kanchelskis loses Russian job after just three months

Former Manchester United winger Andrei Kanchelskis has lost his job as manager of Russian third-tier club Solyaris Moscow after just over three months in charge.

Kanchelskis, 47, took over at Solyaris in January and leaves with the Second Division West club second in the table but with little chance of getting promoted.

"Kanchelskis leaves the team along with his coaching staff," the club's president Vladimir Ovchinnikov told Sovetsky Sport.

Kanchelskis, who also played for Everton, Rangers and Manchester City, retired from playing in 2006 and has since had managerial roles at Russian clubs Torpedo-ZIL Moscow, FC Ufa and Latvian side Jurmala.
