The Estonian Volleyball Federation has officially appointed Pekka Seppänen, a 42-year-old Finnish national, as the head coach of the Estonian women's national volleyball team. This decision follows a structured 1+2 contract that allows for an extension of two additional years after the first year based on performance. Seppänen brings extensive experience to the role, having served as an assistant coach for the Finnish national team and working in various clubs within the Finnish top league, in addition to his long playing career.

Seppänen expressed enthusiasm for the opportunity, highlighting it as a fortuitous turn of events. He was informed by a former colleague from the Finnish national side about the coaching vacancy in Estonia and decided to apply, indicating he is looking forward to the challenges ahead. His previous encounters with Estonian volleyball, having played against the national team multiple times and familiarizing himself with notable players, have set a foundation for his coaching ahead.

With the upcoming season featuring players like Marily Lass and memories of past talents such as Kertu Laak and Anu Ennok, Seppänen's comprehensive understanding of Estonian players will surely influence his coaching strategy. He appears well-prepared to guide the women's team forward in their competitive pursuits as they look to grow and succeed in international play.
