Kim Raimi (born 25 February 1985) is a Finnish football manager and a former player. He is currently working as the manager of PK-35 in Ykkösliiga, having previously worked for the team as an assistant coach. During his playing career, he played mainly as a centre back for Helsinki-based clubs, and captained PK-35 Vantaa until the club's bankruptcy.
Club career[edit]
Raimi started his senior career with his former youth team PK-35 in 2003. In 2007, he signed with FC Viikingit in the first-tier Veikkausliiga, but due to injury he made only seven appearances in the league during the 2007 season.[1] After the relegation, he stayed with Viikingit in Ykkönen.
In 2009, Raimi joined new Ykkönen club PK-35 Vantaa, the new first team of his former club PK-35, which detached and relocated to Myyrmäki, Vantaa.[2][3][4] The club won a promotion to Veikkausliiga for the 2016 season,[5][6] but were relegated and ultimately declared for bankruptcy. Raimi had terminated his contract with the club in September 2016.[7][8]
For the 2017, Raimi signed with Veikkausliiga club HIFK.[9][10]
Raimi ended his playing career in 2018 in the fourth-tier Kolmonen with his former team PK-35. The club had continued operations in Pihlajamäki, Helsinki, after the dissolvement of their Vantaa-section, and gained the division spot of their former reserve team.
Coaching career[edit]
After retiring as a player, Raimi started to work as an assistant coach of PK-35. Since the start of 2021 Ykkönen season, he is the manager of the club's first team.[11][12][13]
