Spaniard Juande Ramos was sacked as CSKA Moscow coach on Monday following Sunday's 3-1 defeat by Russian Premier League rivals FK Moscow, the club said. "As of today the contract of Juande Ramos was terminated by mutual consent," CSKA said on their website (www.pfc-cska.com).
The former Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur manager lasted only six weeks at the army club after replacing Brazilian Zico, who was fired following a string of poor results in September. Former FK Moscow and Krylya Sovietov Samara coach Leonid Slutsky, 38, has taken over from Ramos on a three-year contract, CSKA president Yevgeny Giner said.
