Former football player of the national team Andrei Kanchelskis was threatened with reprisals because of the debts of “Navbahor”
Kanchelskis turned to the police and said that he was threatened with reprisals because of the debts of the Uzbek club “Navbahor” to him. This was reported by the Telegram channel “Mutko against”.
The incident took place on November 22 in the Moscow cafe “Oasis”. Three unknown persons in medical masks approached the ex-player of the national team and asked if he worked in Uzbekistan and whether he was really offered to pay 1.6 million euros for his work at the Navbahor football club. After positive answers to these questions, threats began to sound against the athlete. The men offered the man to agree to the payment of only 80 thousand euros. In case of refusal, the unknown promised to “make him disabled.”
The footballer did not agree to the conditions. Instead, he turned to the police, where they began a check.
Kanchelskis has been coaching Navbahor since October 2018. Two years later, he left the post due to wage arrears.
As part of the Russian national team, Kanchelskis took part in the 1992 and 1996 European Championships. Together with Manchester United, the footballer became a two-time champion of England.
