Daily Mail:
Roberto Carlos has confirmed that mega-rich Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala are interested in appointing Fabio Capello as their manager, as revealed by Sportsmail earlier this month.
Brazilian defender Carlos, 38, has been appointed a player-coach for Anzhi and immediately began talks with his bosses about transfer targets and who should take over as boss following the sacking of Gadzhi Gadzhiev.
Billionaire Russian owner Suleyman Kerimov wants Capello to take over after leading England at next summer's European Championship and Carlos said: 'I am having dinner with the president tonight and we'll speak about signings and coaches for next season.'
Anzhi are prepared to leave Carlos and fellow coach Andrey Gordeev in charge till the end of the Russian season if results improve but will then try to lure a top manager and players to match the calibre of Samuel Eto'o, who was signed from Inter Milan for £21million in August.
England midfielders Steven Gerrard, of Liverpool, and Chelsea's Frank Lampard are at the top of their wish list.
'We will talk about names like Lampard, Gerrard and (Robert) Pires,' said Carlos. 'In terms of coaches, there are several names, such as Capello, (Guus) Hiddink, (Vanderlei) Luxemburgo and (Luis Felipe) Scolari.'
