Antti Muurinen

Antti Muurinen

Antti Muurinen (born March 4, 1954) is a Finnish football coach. He is currently the head coach of HJK Helsinki in Finland's Veikkausliiga.

Muurinen is probably best known as the head coach of the Finnish national team. He led Finland in qualifying campaigns for the 2002 World Cup, Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup, failing to reach the finals each time.

In June 2005 Finnish football fans held protest against Muurinen, and after 4-0 defeat against Netherland, Finnish FA sacked him.

In 2006, Muurinen took over the FC Lahti in Finland's Veikkausliiga. Before the end of the 2007 season he returned back to HJK Helsinki where he is currently coaching.

Muurinen is also known for leading HJK Helsinki into the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 1998-99 season, the only time a Finnish club has managed this feat. He has also won the Finnish championship with HJK in 1997 as well as with FC Kuusysi in 1989 and 1991. Muurinen returned to club football as the head coach of FC Lahti in the 2006 season.
