Russian Football Association chief Nikolai Tolstykh is confident national team manager Fabio Capello will see out his contract and take Russia to the 2014 World Cup.

MOSCOW, June 19 (R-Sport) - Russian Football Association chief Nikolai Tolstykh is confident national team manager Fabio Capello will see out his contract and take Russia to the 2014 World Cup.

Reports appeared in the French and Italian media on Wednesday claiming the 67-year-old could be named Paris Saint-Germain coach in the coming days, adding he was the Qatari-bankrolled club's fallback option after Tottenham Hotspur boss Andre Villas-Boas turned them down.

"Capello has a labor contract with the Russian Football Union, he has repeatedly talked about how happy he is in Russian football and that he intends to continue," Tolstykh told R-Sport.

The Italian, who suffered his first loss in nine games earlier this month against Portugal, is to visit the Confederations Cup in Brazil over the coming days, Tolstykh said.

Capello has steered Russia to second place in World Cup qualifying Group F, where they trail leaders Portugal by two points but have two games in hand over Paulo Bento's side.
