Wth! Russian Ministry Of Sport Bans Foreign Managers From Russian Football. (See Why)

A very interesting news came out of Russia on Thursday
afternoon after it emerged that the Ministry of Sport
had signed a document banning all foreign head coaches.

Former Chelsea coach, Andre Villas-Boas who is
Portuguese and manages Zenith St Petersburg was
reportedly planning to leave at the end of the season
but it’s unclear if his tenure will last that long now.

According to Eurosport, the bill was signed on September
21st and published on the official web portal of legal
information on October 28th.

Interestingly, the Russian national team can still be
run by a foreign coach. At clubs, they can employ
foreigners as coaches, but not the head coach. Of the
sixteen clubs in the Russian Premier League, six are
run by foreigners. It’s unclear how soon they will be
forced to leave their jobs.
Russia, "bhet why"?
