Zico set to take over at CSKA Moscow

Brazilian manager Zico is about to add yet another adventure to his career, as he is ready to sign a deal with Russian giants CSKA Moscow.

Zico is to replace Valery Gazzaev, who recently resigned from his position.

The 55-year-old Brazilian has a rather exotic resume, having coached Japanese side Kashima Antlers before taking the reigns at the country s national team. In 2006, Zico moved to Fenerbahce and in September 2008 he tried his luck at Uzbek side Bunyodkor, whom he recently led to a domestic league title.

I expect to sign, Zico told Brazilian newspaper O Globo. But there are still a few small things that need to be solved.

CSKA have been going through one of their best spells in history. Under Gazzaev, the Muscovites won three national championships and the UEFA Cup in 2005.
