Ruud Gullit is sacked from Terek Grozny

The management of Terek Grozny have decided to terminate the contract with their head coach Ruud Gullit.

«Gullit will not coach Terek any more. Unfortunately, he did not manage to prove himself as a coach. This season the team has been having exceptionally poor performances under him.

«We hoped that Gullit needs time to have a closer look at his players, that he would make some changes. But all our hopes turned out to be vain and we have to terminate our relationship with him,» stated the president of the Chechen club Ramzan Kadyrov in an interview to Interfax.

On Monday Gullit was issued an ultimatum by the club’s directors: in case Terek dropped at least a point in the RPL Matchday 13 game against Amkar, the Dutchman would be dismissed. Today Terek have lost the match 1:0.

As of now, the Grozny team are in 14th place in the Russian league with 12 points.
