MOSCOW, 9 Aug. Former head coach of «Spartak» Massimo Carrera will take part in a retro match dedicated to the memory of ex-footballer «red-white» Ilya Tsymbalar, leading the world team.
Earlier, the source said that the veterans of «Spartak» in September will play with the world team. According to the interlocutor of the agency, Santiago Cañizares, Florent Malouda, Emmanuel Adebayor and Fernando Morientes have already given their consent to participate.
