Here in Finland we have followed closely the rumor that Valakari would be interested to become the next manager for Motherwell. KuPS (the team Valakari is currently coaching) is at the moment in very critical situation where it's leading the finnish league and also qualifying for Europa conference league. Thats why fans are pretty upset about the news of Valakari leaving the club.. Just few moments ago president of the club gave a statement that all this is just a rumor and they have contract with Valakari until end of the 2023.
As a huge fan of KuPS i really hope that this is just a rumor! But let see.. And warm greetings from Kuopio, Finland
Here's the press release: (it's in finnish so please use googletranslate)
