Former Norwich City head coach Daniel Farke has terminated his contract at Russian Premier League side Krasnodar.

The German was asked by his family to leave the country after its invasion of Ukraine.

Farke had been working in Russia since Janaury, but was not able to oversee a single league game.

At first, the Russian league was on a winter break, and now the Russia-Ukraine conflict has broken out.

Farke's resignation was released in a statement by Krasnodar on Twitter.

"When we started our new job at FK Krasnodar at the beginning of January, the joint objective with those responsible for the club was clearly formulated," Farke said, per Kicker.

"We don't just want national titles with this fantastic club in the coming years get him, but also establish him internationally. Less than two months later, without unfortunately having played a single league game, we have now asked the two board members Vladimir Khashig and Aram Fundukyan to terminate our contracts with a heavy heart.

"The current political development and the associated request from our children, wives, families and friends to come home and the loss of all sporting perspectives have now led to this well-considered decision.

"It was very difficult for us, because we were received very warmly from day one. We formed a great community with different nationalities in a very short time, who wanted to pursue sporting goals together. With joy and fun. Unfortunately, the serious side of life has now caught up with us."
