The appointment marks a significant development for the team’s future strategy. Seppänen, 42, will lead the Estonian squad under a contract spanning one year with options for extensions totaling two years. Seppänen brings a wealth of experience to the role, having previously served as a reserve coach for the Finnish national team and accumulated several years of coaching experience within the Finnish league at the club level. Prior to his coaching career, Seppänen enjoyed a successful playing career. The new coach emphasized the importance of team cooperation within his approach. “It was a coincidence, my former colleague from the Finnish national team sent me information that the Estonian women’s national team is looking for a coach and maybe I want to apply and I thought, why not,” Seppänen stated. The Estonian Volleyball Union Board believes Seppänen’s expertise will be instrumental in developing the team’s capabilities and achieving competitive success. This appointment represents a key investment in the long-term growth of the estonian volleyball program.
