Former England boss Fabio Capello denies Anzhi Makhachkala meeting
The 65-year-old coach has denied holding a meeting with the Russian outfit, but he still remains favourite for the position after Yuri Krasnozhan left the club
By Luis Mira
Russian sources claimed on Sunday that Capello had flown to Moscow to begin negotiations with the ambitious Russian club.
"I am simply in Saint-Moritz," he told L'Equipe. "The only appointment I have is next Monday [February 20], in Bologne, to receive an award."
However, speculation that Capello will take over at Anzhi has intensified after Yuri Krasnozhan stepped down as coach on Monday, just two months into the job.
The Italian coach is currently out of work after quitting England last week, following the Football Association's decision to strip John Terry of the national captaincy.

"[Gary] Cahill I suppose is slightly more of a concern for me because it is a jaw injury. We're desperately hoping the CT scan doesn't show any fracture and it's just going to be a bruising situation, which will be bad enough, but won't stop him taking part in the tournament. As far as John's [Terry] concerned he felt his hamstring a little bit. Again it wasn't a major thing when he came off but we still need to scan it just to be 100 per cent sure."
Suffice to say, if Cahill has broken his jaw, he won't play any part in the tournament.
