Former England coach Fabio Capello arrived in Moscow Sunday to hold talks with Russian Premier League club Anzhi Makhachkala, daily newspaper Sport Express has reported. The 65-year-old Italian manager, who was considered by Anzhi chiefs as a possible candidate for the club's head coach post even when he was coaching the English national squad, came to Moscow just days after his resignation. On Saturday local media reported that Anzhi manager Yury Krasnozhan, who took over the club in December, was sacked but the club refused to confirm the information. Anzhi said Krasnozhan's future would be decided Monday, adding, however, that the club had sacked general director Soslan Soziev. “There will be changes in the club staff,” Anzhi deputy president German Chistyakov said. “We have serious reasons for those changes.” Anzhi, founded in 1991, has enjoyed little success in Russian football until being acquired by the tycoon Suleyman Kerimov last year and going on a spending spree that landed it Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto'o and Brazilian Roberto Carlos. Anzhi are currently seventh in the Russian Premiership with 52 points from 32 matches, 13 points behind the leader Zenit St Petersburg. Tevez could stay Manchester City outcast Carlos Tevez could still play for the club in the Premier League title run-in if he returned from Argentina, manager Roberto Mancini was quoted as saying in British media Sunday. “Everyone knows Carlos is a top player,” the City manager was reported as saying in The Observer. “If he was here and playing it would be better, because Carlos can change games. If he were to come back next week maybe he can still help us in the next three months.” The 28-year-old Argentine striker, who fell out with Mancini after failing to heed his instructions to warm up during a Champions league game in September, had been widely expected to leave the club in the January transfer window. However, despite interest from AC Milan, Inter Milan and Paris St. Germain he was not sold.
