A second-tier Russian club is advertising for a player
Professional football is among the most competitive industries in the world – but Russian outfit FC Tosno are proving there's still hope out there for anyone.
The Russian Football National League club, only one tier below the top flight, have set up an online advert looking for a player to join their club. Unfortunately, it's not exactly clear what position on the pitch they're looking for.
As part of the job requirements, applicants must be: a team player, responsible, committed and highly qualified (er, whatever that means in this case). You are also expected to work irregular hours.
The salary is from 300,000 rubles (over £4,000; though whether that's weekly or monthly is uncertain).
Interested? Apply here! Landing the job might be tough, though: Tosno are currently second in the league, in one of the automatic promotion spots.
It's almost as if manager Dmytro Parfenov doesn't have any faith in his scouts.
