The Russia boss was not prepared to entertain speculation his side's loss to Mexico could see him sacked as head coach
Russia boss Stanislav Cherchesov hit out at suggestions that he could be sacked following his side's Confederations Cup exit on Saturday.
The host nation were beaten 2-1 by Mexico in Kazan, ensuring that they finished behind El Tri and Portugal in Group A and therefore missed out on a semi-final spot.
Optimism has grown among many Russia fans thanks to Cherchesov's more bold approach but there have been suggestions that their latest failure to progress beyond the group stage of a major tournament could see him lose his job.
