Teemu Tainio.

After a narrow victory against Viimsi in the relegation play-off match for a spot in next season’s [Premium Liiga](https://balticfootballnews.com/?page_id=1224 "Premium liiga"), [JK Tallinna Kalev’s](https://balticfootballnews.com/?page_id=963 "JK Tallinna Kalev") manager, **Teemu Tainio**, confirmed to Soccernet.ee that he will continue in his role as the team’s manager.

Tainio joined the team as **Daniel Meijel’s** assistant in March and became the head coach in August when Meijel stepped down.

Since taking charge, Tainio has managed Kalev in 19 games, achieving a record of six wins, three draws, and ten losses. Half of Tainio’s wins came against lower-league teams in the Estonian Cup, with his most recent victory against Viimsi in the relegation play-off match ending after extra time.
