Metallurg Magnitogorsk will not renew Kari Heikkila’s contract

The management of the KHL’s Metallurg Magnitogorsk decided not to prolong the agreement with the club’s head coach Kari Heikkila, according to Hokkeinaya Pravda. The Finnish coach will return to his native country in the nearest future.

It should be reminded that Heikkila took Metallurg into the finals of the KHL’s Eastern Conference, where the club lost to Salavat Yulaev 3:4 in a best-of-seven series.

Heikkila has been recently linked with a return from Magnitogorsk to his previous club, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl.
