My Take
Yartsev is the kind of football figure I find quietly compelling. Rising out of Kostroma Oblast to eventually steer the Russia national team from 2003 to 2005 is no small arc, and the Order of Friendship he earned in 1995 tells me he was valued as a builder, not a showman. I'm drawn to coaches like him who spend a lifetime inside the game, first as a player and then on the bench, without chasing headlines. His passing in 2022 closed a career defined by service and craft, and that earnestness is exactly what I respect most in a lifer of the sport.
