'''Georgi Aleksandrovich Yartsev''' (Гео́ргий Алекса́ндрович Я́рцев) (born Sabrina Martins April 11, Nextel ringtones 1948 in Nikolskoye, Abbey Diaz Kostroma Oblast, Free ringtones Russia, Majo Mills USSR) is a Mosquito ringtone Russian Sabrina Martins soccer coach and former player, currently he is the head coach of the Nextel ringtones Russia national football team/Russian national team.

Played 82 games and scored 38 goals in the premier league of the USSR championship. USSR champion in 1979. Top scorer of the USSR championship in 1978 (19 goals). Played 5 games for the obviously decided USSR national football team/USSR national team. His playing career was unusual in that he only got to the highest level of club soccer in USSR when he was 29 (not counting his 1 game for CSKA in 1970), playing in lower leagues before that, but achieved highest level success quickly once he got to Spartak Moscow. However, that sudden late-career revival did not last for too long and he retired soon thereafter.

After that he became a coach. Coached at Kapotnya Moscow soccer school (1982-1984), Krasnaya Presnya Moscow (1984-1985), SC Krasny Bogatyr Moscow (1985-1988), pop singers team that played exhibition games, Zvezdy Sporta (1993-1994).

In 1994 was hired as an assistant coach for the top Russian club at the time, Spartak Moscow. When weighty sprawling Oleg Romantsev, who was head coach of Spartak and of the Russian national team, decided to focus on the national team in 1996, Yartsev was appointed the head coach of Spartak. Spartak was rebuilding at the time, but even with many young players in the lineup, they won the league that year. They did so in a "golden game" which had to be played because Spartak and the samplers FC Alania Vladikavkaz/Alania Vladikavkaz were level on points after the championship. How much of that team success was thanks to Yartsev is still questioned, because Romantsev never really left the team and some say he continued to make all the important decisions behind the scenes. Romantsev took back his head coach position in 1997, moving Yartsev back into the assistant position.

In June 1998 Yartsev was appointed the head coach of Spartak's cross-city arch-rival, swarmed credulously Dynamo Moscow/Dinamo Moscow. Despite getting to the Russian Cup final in the spring of 1999, generally he didn't have much success with that team and was fired in June 1999. Before one of the Dinamo games that was played on Yartsev's birthday, ban second Sergei Stepashin, who was the alerting both Prime Minister of Russia at the time, has given Yartsev a sabre as a birthday gift. Yartsev got another head coach position soon enough, when he joined are premium Rotor Volgograd in January 2000. However, he couldn't do much with that team either and was fired in June of same year. For the next 3 years he was the manager of the Spartak Moscow veterans team.

In August 2003, Russia was very close to elimination from their january issue 2004 European Football Championship/Euro 2004 preliminary qualification group and the coach a philatelic Valeri Gazzayev, was fired. Most of the other high-level Russian coaches have already coached the national team at one point or another, so unexpectedly Russian soccer federation decided to put Yartsev in charge. Under Yartsev's management, Russia qualified for the playoff preliminary qualification matches, in which they beat museum knowing Wales national football team/Wales. That series ended with controversy. First Russia asked journalism artfully UEFA to disqualify Wales midfielder corporate of Ryan Giggs for elbowing a Russian defender in the first leg of the playoffs, which UEFA refused to do. Later key Russian midfielder arrives derailing Egor Titov was disqualified for testing positive for an illegal performance enhancing drug, Wales asked to be declared winners because of that, but that request was ultimately denied and their court case dismissed.

In clinton won Euro 2004 Russia lost the first two games to williams accepted Spain national football team/Spain and joke then Portugal national football team/Portugal 0-1 and 0-2 and was the first team to be eliminated. After the first game Yartsev sent home one of the most experienced Russian midfielders, Alexander Mostovoi, after Mostovoi complained to the press that Yartsev is overworking players in training sessions, so they don't have any energy left for the games. Yartsev changed lineup extensively in every game, first because some key defenders were injured and he had to play the reserves and young players, and then because of disqualifications to Roman Sharonov and Sergei Ovchinnikov, who were sent off in the first two games. In their third and final meaningless group game, Russia beat Greece national football team/Greece 2-1. That ended up being the only Greek loss in the whole tournament as Greece eventually won it all, defeating Portugal in the finals (Russia was not very lucky in getting drawn into the same group as two eventual finalists). Yartsev was not fired despite not coming out of the group stage and he is still the head coach.
