Tottenham will be up against a coach in his last game on Wednesday after CSKA Moscow announced Leonid Slutsky's departure.

Slutsky has led CSKA to three Russian league titles since replacing former Spurs boss Juande Ramos in 2009, but his reign will end after this week's Champions League trip to Wembley.

A CSKA statement on Tuesday read: "After the match with Tottenham in London, Leonid Slutsky will leave his post as head coach of CSKA Moscow.

"CSKA give their thanks to Leonid Slutsky after seven fruitful years together, including three league titles, two Russian Cups and two Russian Super Cups, as well as the incredible emotions that the team under his leadership have given to the huge army of fans.

"Our club doors are always open to you, Leonid!"

CSKA plan to name their new head coach by the end of the week, and in the meantime Slutsky can leave his successor the gift of Europa League football by masterminding a win in north London.
