Sport Saga:Russian Ministry of Sport bans foreign managers from Russian football

Only in Russia could such a thing happen. An intriguing news emerge from Russia on Thursday afternoon after it was reported 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. Now that's shocking.
   Eurosport reported that the bill was signed on September 21st and published on the official web portal of legal information on October 28th.
  Notwithstanding , the Russian.  national team can still be ran by a foreign coach.But at clubs,foreigners can only be employed as  coaches – but not the head coach. There are sixteen clubs in the Russian Premier League, six are ran by foreigners. Time will tell, if they'll be fired. What would you call this, discrimination or babarism? Leave a comment.
