He became the assistant of the head coach of “White-blue” Alexander Shovkovsky and will be responsible for the training of the attackers.
Earlier, Yashkkin had Russian citizenship, which was forced to change the legendary coach Valery Lobanovsky.
“At that time there was no such thing: Ukraine, Russia … Everything was the only one. When I moved to live in Kiev, for me it was not felt – one people. Yes, Lobanovsky forced me to change citizenship. Well, how did you make? He said, “You want to be in Dynamo – you will be in the national team!”. So I did a Ukrainian passport. But, honestly, I did not particularly happen in the national team – I didn’t even score any goal. I am ashamed of my games for the national team … And I played little, and I did not distinguish – just being on the field. Although, a few matches played from beginning to end, ”Yashkin recalled.
