Russia's new national team head coach from the Netherlands, Dick Advocaat, will be in Russia on Tuesday to address the Russian Football Union (RFU) as he takes the new post.
Advocaat was officially named the head coach of the Russian national football team on Monday at the RFU conference in southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don.
His flight was scheduled to land in Moscow on Monday, but a new volcanic ash cloud from Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull postponed it to Tuesday.
Advocaat replaces Guus Hiddink as coach, but will be paid less than the estimated 8 million euros a year his compatriot received.
Belgian media earlier reported that Advocaat would be paid as much as 12 million euros a year to lead Russia to the finals of Euro 2012.
Russia will begin and end their attempt to make the final stages of Euro 2012 with matches against minnows Andorra. Russia's Group B also includes Slovakia, Ireland, Macedonia and Armenia.
Advocaat, 62, quit his job as coach of Belgium in April after barely six months in charge. His contract with the Belgian FA was supposed to last until 2012 but he said the prospect of working with the Russian national side was too compelling.
