On Monday, Tartu Bigbank announced the appointment of Andrei Ojamets as their new head coach after the dismissal of Alar Rikberg. Ojamets, who has previously served alongside Rikberg as an assistant, brings familiarity with the club and its dynamics, which was highlighted by club leader Hendrik Rikand. Rikand emphasized that both Ojamets and newly appointed assistant Valentin Kordas were his top choice due to their past experiences and understanding of the club's environment.

The decision comes amid a challenging period for Tartu Bigbank, and Rikand believes that the duo's temperament is essential for guiding the team through these difficulties. There had been hopes that Kordas could also contribute as a player, but it was decided that his skills would be best utilized in a coaching role. The club's statement underlined their previous successes in navigating tough situations, particularly with the women's team, which Ojamets and Kordas have been successfully coaching.

This coaching change reflects Tartu Bigbank's commitment to turning around their current form and leveraging the expertise of those who are deeply embedded in the club's culture. As Ojamets and Kordas step into their new roles, fans will be watching closely to see if their combined experience can help revitalize the team's performance.
