Gullit too interested in bars, discos: club

FORMER World Player of the Year Ruud Gullit is more interested in bars and discos than getting to grips with Terek Grozny's poor league position and has one game to save his job as coach, the team said.

The Dutchman, who signed an 18-month contract with the Chechen team at the start of the year, was told on the Russian Premier League club's website that he would be fired if it did not win at Ankar Perm. The leader of Russia's volatile, Muslim Chechnya region, Ramzan Kadyrov, is the president of Terek, which languishes 14th in the 16-team league. "Today we must acknowledge that Gullit has not justified the hopes of the club's leadership," the statement said, adding that he refused to accept any blame for poor performances. Instead of rolling up his sleeves and working to improve the team's league position, Gullit was "thinking about bars and discotheques."
