Dinamo coach resigns ahead of Thursday's Europa League tie with Dundee United

DUNDEE United's European opponents on Thursday, Dinamo Moscow, were plunged into chaos last night when their coach, Sergei Silkin, resigned with their season only three weeks old.

The 51-year-old had been under pressure after Dinamo's 4-0 derby loss on Sunday to Spartak Moscow, which left the Moscow side bottom of the Russian Premier League and pointless after three defeats.

"I am ashamed to comment. I apologise to the fans. Of course, I'm guilty, responsible for everything that happens in a team and on the field and I'm ready for any management decision," said Silkin after the match against Spartak.
