Spaniard Juande Ramos was sacked as CSKA Moscow coach today following Sunday's 3-1 defeat by Russian Premier League rivals FK Moscow, the club said.

"As of today the contract of Juande Ramos was terminated by mutual consent," CSKA said on their website (www.pfc-cska.com).

The former Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur manager lasted only six weeks at the army club after replacing Brazilian Zico, who was fired following a string of poor results in September.

CSKA said former FK Moscow and Krylya Sovietov Samara coach Leonid Slutsky had taken over from the 54-year-old Spaniard until the end of the season.
