CM 2008 > Guides > League Guides > Russian Premier League

The Russian Premier League is in the process of becoming a major power on the European stage. This is best illustrated by the recent UEFA Cup win for CSKA Moscow. Despite weather conditions not being the best for top quality football, it is beginning to attract some star names, as well as having some good emerging talent of its own.

League Structure:

- Top 2 teams qualify for Champions League - 2nd place has to go through qualifying round
- Russian Cup winners and the sides finishing 3rd - 4th qualify for UEFA Cup
- Bottom 2 teams are relegated

CM FOCUS

 
CM 2010 section
We will soon be starting work on our new CM 2010 section, which should be up within the next week.

I hope to build up some comprehensive lists of all the best players, tactics, set pieces routines and training schedules.

I am also hoping to start a new Lower League Section, with help and guides for those who chose to start their managerial careers further down the footballing ladder.

If anyone is interested in helping with the Lower League section or any other area of the site, then please send me an e-mail at jonathan@champ-man.com
