Lätkäpodi: Raimo Helminen was linked to the league’s major club – “I’ve heard that much”
SaiPa’s head coach Raimo Helminen name has come up in discussions about Ilves’s coach for the next season. In Iltalehti’s Hockey Podcast, journalist Santtu Silvennoinen reported on the prevailing view in Tampere that Helminen would take the helm of Ilves.
– In Tampere, there is a strong belief that Raipe Helminen will take over Ilves starting next season, journalist Santtu Silvennoinen reported.
However, the realization of this rumor would require a lot. Helminen is currently coaching SaiPa, and according to what Silvennoinen has heard, he has not informed the club that he would not continue.
– I have heard that Raipe has not told SaiPa at least that he would not continue, Silvennoinen said.
The situation of Ilves’s current head coach Tommi Niemelä also suggests that one cannot draw direct conclusions from the discussions circulating in Tampere. Niemelä has led Ilves to the League semifinals twice, and according to Silvennoinen, the club is trying to hold on to him.
– Tommi Niemelä’s contract extension is currently the number one priority for Ilves’s management.
