Armenia forward Marcos Pizzelli, who played for Ukraine’s Metallurg in 2011, signed a 3-year contact with Russia’s Kuban FC.

“Pizzelli is a qualified player with international experience and I’m confident that he will help strengthen our team’s potential. He can act both as forward and attacking halfback,” Kuban sports director Sergey Doronchenko said.

Kuban is 50th with 50 points in Russian Premier League standings.
