Aleksandra Ševoldajeva has been announced as the new head coach of the Estonian women’s national football team, taking over from the two co-head coaches Anastassia Morkovkina and Sirje Kapper, who last week guided Estonia to their second successive Baltic Cup win.
Ševoldajeva, who previously coached FC Flora Tallinn women, signed a four-year contract with the Football Federation. This will see her guide Estonia through two UEFA Nations League campaigns and the 2027 World Cup. Estonia failed to reach the 2025 European Championships after finishing behind Albania and Luxembourg in their qualifying group earlier this year.
Commenting on the appointment, the head of Estonian Football Federation, Aivar Pohlak, had this to say:
Aleksandra is the most successful coach in Estonian women’s football over the last decade and so, taking charge of the national team is the logical next step. The goal is to continue being the top team in the Baltic states, as well as to move up to League B in the UEFA system and stay there
The Estonian women’s national team will hold its first training camp with Ševoldajeva in charge at the end of November.
