Valeri Bondarenko, coach of Estonian side JK Trans Narva, has agreed to replace Belgian Tom Saintfiet as boss of Finland's Rovaniemi PS ahead of the start of the new Veikkausliiga campaign on 27 April.

The 54-year-old Bondarenko, who twice won Estonian titles with FC Norma Tallinn, had been working without an assistant at cash-strapped Trans, who are third in the Meistriliiga table.
