A pit stop for Saravanan


Second home: V. Saravanan has been living in Finland for the past six years and is currently coaching HJK Helsinki

IT BEGAN as a sojourn but former international footballer V. Sarava­nan became smitten with Finland and decided to make it his home.

While many Malaysians tend to shy away from the cold climate, Saravanan has stayed put to become one of the successful youth football coaches in the nation, known for its icy lakes, wild reindeers and bright Northern Lights.
