Former Norwich boss Farke quits Krasnodar without taking charge of a match after family pleas to return home

Former Norwich boss Daniel Farke has quit his post at Krasnodar without taking charge of a match following family pleas to return to his home in Germany.

Farke was appointed Krasnodar's new head coach on January 17, two months after being sacked by Norwich following their poor start to the 2021-22 Premier League season.

The 45-year-old's first game in the dugout for the Russian club against Lokomotiv Moscow had initially been scheduled for February 27, but the fixture was cancelled following the country's invasion of Ukraine.

Farke has subsequently seen a request to terminate his contract granted, with Krasnodar confirming his departure in a statement, which reads: "On 2 March FC Krasnodar's top management and Daniel Farke reached an agreement on a contract termination by mutual consent of the parties.

"Farke’s assistant coaches, Edmund Riemer, Chris Domogalla, and Christopher John, are leaving the club with the German coach.

"Football Club Krasnodar thank the coaching staff for the work done and wish them luck in their further career."

«Краснодар» и Даниэль Фарке расторгли контракт по взаимному согласию. Вместе с немецким тренером клуб покидают его ассистенты - Эдмунд Ример, Крис Домогалла и Кристофер Джон.
