Many players from the Lahti team are now going to play elsewhere, including this season’s regular players.
Niemelä, who was contacted by the Lahti manager on Friday, is confident that assembling the new team will be successful.
– I am confident that we will be able to assemble an excellent team again for next season. I believe that the journey will continue in the direction we have chosen and hopefully even one place higher.
The coaching team will make a more detailed final analysis of the season after May Day.
