“The easiest signature of my career.” Juho Lehtiranta and JIPPO agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Yoshiaki Kikuchi wants to go home
“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at JIPPO can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Nobody at JIPPO has picked up the phone to Juho Lehtiranta

A loan move for Ludvig Tidstrand is in the works
JIPPO have made the call to Mjällby. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
