Unsettled Chelsea midfielder Florent Malouda has hinted he could look to quit the club during the winter transfer market. Malouda's bid to cement his place in the France team ahead of next summer's Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine has been compounded by his lack of playing time under Andre Villas-Boas at Chelsea. The 31-year-old has started only once in the past nine games, in a League Cup tie against Liverpool, and the success of Spaniard Juan Mata has left Malouda sitting in frustration on the Chelsea bench. After coming on as a second-half substitute in Chelsea's 1-1 Boxing Day draw at home to Fulham, Malouda told Canal Plus television he is starting to look at options elsewhere. “I can't be satisfied with that, there's a huge difference between the amount of time I'm playing and what my ambitions are,” Malouda told the channel according to L'Equipe sports daily. “So we'll see what happens in the winter transfer market. If I have to, I'll go elsewhere because, looking back at the first half of the season, I just can't be satisfied with that.” According to Paris daily Le Parisien, Malouda could be set for a move to Paris Saint-Germain. The current Ligue 1 leader is on the lookout for established international stars in the January transfer window and its Qatari owners have the money to spend. Malouda could also team up with his former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti, who is widely expected to be appointed as coach at the Parc des Princes in the coming days, replacing Antoine Kombouare, who was sacked last week. Chelsea is 11 points behind both Manchester City and Manchester United. Villas-Boas said: “Maybe the Premier League is over for us at the moment.” Villas-Boas plans to strengthen his squad in January by signing a center back, with Bolton's Gary Cahill his main target. Krasnozhan at Anzhi Russian Premier League side Anzhi Makhazhkala has ended its long search for a manager by appointing Russian Yury Krasnozhan, the club announced Tuesday. The 48-year-old Krasnozhan, previously the coach of Premiership sides Spartak Nalchik and Lokomotiv Moscow, has signed a five-year deal. No financial details of the contract were disclosed. “I'm really grateful to the club management for their trust in me,” Krasnozhan said. “It's not only an honorable and difficult mission to lead such a club, but also a very interesting job.” After his resignation from Lokomotiv in June, Krasnozhan coached Russia's national reserve side. Reports said he will combine jobs in the first six months at the helm of Anzhi. Anzhi, founded in 1991, has enjoyed little success in Russian football until being acquired by the tycoon Suleyman Kerimov this year and going on a spending spree that landed it Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto'o and Roberto Carlos.
