If it wasn't bad enough Russian Ultras jumping out and ruining the Euros for England fans, it now seems the Russian FA could jump out and ruin the Pelligrini deal for Saints.
According to media sources tonight the Russian FA is set to offer Manuel Pelligrini a small fortune to manage their team till the end of the 2018 World Cup.
The Russian Football Association (RFS) has seemingly set their sights on the 62-year-old about to become former Manchester City boss after the sniggeringly named coach Leonid Slutski departed after Russia's 3-0 defeat to Wales on Monday night which resulted in the Russians going out of Euro 2016.
It is said that they have offered Pellegrini a two year "Millionaires" deal and it is being said that the Chilean is very tempted.
What might sway him though is the fact that with Russia hosting the 2018 World Cup he only has a series of friendlies to look forward to over the next two years, so it is not so much of a job but a caretaker role and at the end of it should he still be in place he is on a hiding to nothing with Russia on home soil expecting to do well, but judging by the standard of this summer, light years away from having a decent side.
Of course perhaps this might just be a ruse by his agent to panic Saints into making a quick decision and upping the money on offer.
