During his time in charge of the Championship side, Slutsky failed to impress.

In his 20 games in charge of the club, the Russian only managed to win four games for the Tigers, with his side conceding 37 times in the process.

For Russia, Slutsky was average, as the 46-year-old saw his side qualify for Euro 2016, however his team were the only one in the group who didn’t qualify for the round of 16.

During his stint as Russian giants CSKA Moscow, Slutsky impressed, as during his reign, the Russian Premier League side managed to win three league titles, two Russian cups and two Russian Super Cups.
