The coaching team for Mikkelin Jukurit for the 2026-27 league season is now confirmed.
Jukurit announced back in October that they had exercised the option in head coach Jonne Virtanen‘s contract for next season. Now the club also reports that assistant coaches Jesse Welling and Jukka Ahvenjärvi will continue with one-year contracts.

Our coaching team has the right mix of experience, modern perspectives, and above all, the ability to develop players in their daily routines.
