Shanghai Shenhua has officially announced that Russian coach Slutsky has joined as the team's new head coach. However, according to the latest news from the Russian media, Slutsky is currently facing a lawsuit in Russia. It is understood that because of the football school run by Slutsky, it owes a local garbage disposal company fees, and has been brought to court, and they demand that Slutsky pay 12,000 rubles (about 955 yuan) for labor fees.
According to the Russian media "Mutko against", the company, whose full name is "Volgograd City Automation Cleaning Company", claims to have provided services to Slutsky's football school in Volgograd, mainly for the garbage disposal work of the football school, but throughout 2023, the football school in Slutsky owed as many as 12 garbage disposal fees totaling 12,000 rubles, and they demanded that Slutsky pay off the costs.
However, according to the Russian media, the Slutsky side did not intend to pay, so the negotiations between the two sides failed, and in the end it was necessary to go through the court to solve the problem. It is unclear whether Slutsky's reluctance to pay is due to financial reasons, after all, as a famous coach in Russian football, although he has been unemployed for more than a year, he should have accumulated a lot of wealth in the past, and in recent years he has been involved in the film and television and self-media industries, and it is said that he also has a good income.
In any case, for Slutsky, 12,000 rubles is only a small amount of money, and as long as he gets Shenhua's salary, it is not difficult to solve such a small lawsuit.
