Montenegrin coach Miodrag Božović has left FC Amkar Perm to take over at FC Moskva, barely a week after he earned his side a place in next season's inaugural UEFA Europa League with a fourth-placed finish in Russia.
Moving on
The 40-year-old took over at Amkar at the start of last season, but despite securing them a first shot at European club competition, he has decided to move on to Moskva, who dismissed coach Oleh Blokhin on Thursday following a ninth-placed finish in the Premier-Liga. "I told the club president that I'm leaving," Božović said. "It was not an easy decision. A new contract with Amkar was ready but I've decided not to sign it."
