He began his coaching career leading Estonia&#8217;s youth national teams, spent a year with TPS in Finland, and then returned to coach various Estonian youth teams. In the summer of 2019, Voolaid became the head coach of the Estonian senior national team, a role he held until the end of 2020. After a two-year break from football, he joined Paide Linnameeskond as the head coach of their first team, leaving the club before the summer of 2023. Before joining FCI Levadia, he worked as an assistant coach for Riga FC. As a coach, Voolaid has won the Tipner Cup and the Supercup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Assistant Coach Karel Voolaid:<\/strong><br><\/em>\u201cIt\u2019s a great honor to join FCI Levadia\u2019s first team!
