I heartily wish to thank him. "He got the team in a difficult situation, when we had almost no chance of reaching the Euros."What happened at the Euros was caused by many different things, I don't want to talk about it. In my opinion, Slutsky worked well." Kurban Berdyev, who almost led FC Rostov to a shock Russian Premier League title win last season, and former Russia goalkeeper Stanislav Cherchesov are thought to be early frontrunners for the job, while Guus Hiddink - Russia manager between 2006 and 2010 - is also thought to be in the frame.</blockquote>
