He told Russian media on Tuesday it received an unspecified amount of extra funds from FIFA last week that it wanted to use to pay Capello, but these were not enough to cover the whole debt.For 2018 World Cup host Russia, the case has become a major embarrassment. During a visit to Russia on Tuesday, UEFA head Michel Platini called the situation a very bad advertisement for Russian football, according to comments quoted by Russian newspaper Sport Express.Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko, who is also a FIFA executive committee member and played a key role in bringing Capello to Russia in 2012, said last Friday he was ashamed to have to discuss the Italians unpaid wages at a joint news conference with FIFA president Sepp Blatter.TThis topic of the contract needs to be dealt with soon, he added.dddddddddddd.Under the terms of a four-year contract extension signed a year ago, and ending after Russia hosts the 2018 World Cup, Capello has a reported salary of 8 million euros ($9.3 million) a year, with a large penalty for early termination.Rostrud began investigating Capellos unpaid wages last year and says it has identified more than 181 million rubles ($2.8 million) in unpaid wages from June through November. The RFU has missed further payments since then.Capellos contract is believed to be denominated in euros but paid in rubles according to the exchange rate at the time of payment. Following a collapse in the value of the ruble, that means salary payments from the summer may cost the RFU almost twice as much as if they had been paid on time.Capello has insisted the unpaid money is not a factor in Russias poor form, with just one win in their last eight competitive matches, including a winless group-stage exit at the World Cup in Brazil.He said in October he was getting close to the limit of his patience with the salary situation, but has not expressed any discontent since.The RFU has struggled with debts for years. On Monday, oil billionaire and Spartak Moscow owner Leonid Fedun said he was owed 300 million rubles ($4.6 million) by the RFU after lending it money to fund the national teams preparation for last years World Cup.
