Jyrki Ahola’s proposal for clubs in the League that are dismissing coaches: “What I would try first…”
The start of the league’s super season has been exceptionally dramatic. Less than two months have passed in the season, and HIFK’s Olli Jokinen, Jokerit’s Tomek Valtonen, and KooKoo’s Jouko Myrrä have already been fired. Tappara’s head coach Kari Jalonen has also voluntarily ended his long career mid-season.
The rapid pace of firings left Kiekko-Espoo’s head coach Jyrki Aho contemplative after the HIFK match.
– I have many thoughts, and not all of them are suitable for print, so I won’t bother to say them, Aho started.
– What I would hope is that it would be recognized that a coach is also a human being. Even though no one believes that nowadays. They have family and relatives too. This treatment has been quite harsh in many ways. I would hope that people would be treated as people.
Aho names the media as one of the harsh critics, but he also has a suggestion for sports directors.
– If I think about what I would try first, I would try to get players with some of the money that is spent on new coaches, and then I would make other decisions afterward. But I don’t make those decisions; I just coach the team.
