Sergio Almenara, the former assistant coach of Orlando Pirates, is back at a club he considers home.
After a short time away, he has rejoined Finnish team FC Inter Turku as their new Head of Scouting.
This marks the second chapter of his career with the Finnish club, a place where he had previously worked from 2019 to 2021 alongside current Pirates head coach, José Riveiro.
Almenara’s return was confirmed by FC Inter Turku on their official website, where they also shared insights about his new role.
A Fresh Challenge in a Familiar Role

During his time at Pirates, Almenara worked alongside Riveiro to lead the club to significant victories, including their triumph in the Nedbank Cup.
His expertise and partnership with Riveiro were well respected at Pirates, and now Almenara is back at Inter Turku, where he’ll oversee and strengthen the club’s scouting operations.
Strengthening Scouting for Future Success
FC Inter Turku has been focusing on improving its competitiveness by making key investments in scouting, and Almenara’s role is central to this strategic push.

His duties will also include supporting the team’s performance and player development through advanced analytics, which could be a game-changer for the club’s future successes.
A Key Part of the Club’s Growth Strategy
Almenara’s return to FC Inter Turku isn’t just about continuing his previous role—it’s a vital part of the club’s long-term growth strategy.
