Leonid Slutsky to leave CSKA Moscow after Tottenham Champions League clash as manager moves on

Coach Leonid Slutsky is to leave CSKA Moscow following Wednesday's Champions League game against Tottenham, the Russian club have announced.

The 45-year-old took over at CSKA in 2009, replacing Juande Ramos, and guided the club to three Premier League titles and two domestic cups during his time in charge.

Alongside his role as CSKA coach, Slutsky also took the reins of the Russia national team following Fabio Capello's departure in August 2015 but his stay ended after the team's group-stage exit at Euro 2016.
