The former Norwich City manager and his entire coaching staff left the club after tensions rose in Ukraine. He didn’t manage a single game for the club, as their matches were postponed. However, Krasnodar’s foreign players have a big decision to make as leaving the club would leave them without any jobs.

Still, players like Remy Cabella and Poland international, Grzegorz Krychowiak, are certainly leaving the club. Big money signing Jhon Cordoba will be allowed to leave the club too, despite only coming over from FC Koln recently.
