As a striker, he represented the USSR and Russia at international level. He has Russian, Ukrainian and Portuguese nationality.

Club career

At club level he played in six countries. After his playing career abruptly ended in 2001 following a skull injury, he became a manager.[1]

International career

He was capped by the USSR (and later the CIS), and despite being born in Ukraine and having been honored as the best Ukrainian footballer, chose to represent Russia after the breakup of the USSR. He was part of the CIS squad at the UEFA Euro 1992, appearing in two matches, and part of the Russia squad at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, making one appearance.

In 2009, he was part of the Russia squad that won the 2009 Legends Cup, a friendly tournament for retired players.

Coaching career

His first experience in coaching was as assistant manager under Andrey Chernyshov in Spartak Moscow, 2003. After three months, Chernyshov and his assistants were fired from Spartak. In 2004 Yuran managed Dynamo Stavropol. After a brief spell with Latvian side FC Ditton from January to May 2006,[2] Yuran was appointed as manager of Estonian champions FC TVMK in July 2006,[3] but in December he unexpectedly left the team.[4] Soon, he took charge at the First Division side Shinnik Yaroslavl, aiming to win promotion to the Premier League.[5] Since summer of 2008 Sergey Yuran was head coach of FC Khimki,[6] he was fired on 2 December 2008, despite the fact that the club managed to stay in the Russian Premier League.
On 29 December 2014, he became manager of Russian Football National League club FC Baltika Kaliningrad.[7]

On 27 January 2020, he was hired once again by Khimki, now in the Russian Football National League.[8] The club only played 2 games after the resumption of the 2019–20 season after the winter break and then the season was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia. As Khimki were 2nd in the league at the time of abandonment, the club was promoted to the Russian Premier League. He led Khimki to the 2019–20 Russian Cup final, where the club lost to FC Zenit Saint Petersburg. On 1 August 2020, he was fired by Khimki.[9]

On 21 October 2020, he was hired by FNL club SKA-Khabarovsk.[10]

On 23 February 2022, Yuran was hired by Khimki for his third spell at the club, with the team in last place in the Russian Premier League standings at the time.[11] Under his management, Khimki avoided relegation through the playoffs. After just 4 games in the 2022–23 season, with the club in 7th place, Yuran left Khimki by mutual consent.[12]

On 4 April 2023, Yuran was hired by Russian Premier League club Pari NN.[13] Pari remained in the Premier League after beating Rodina Moscow in the relegation play-offs.[14]

Personal life

His son Artyom Yuran is a professional footballer.[15]
