Player career

As a player, he played in the position of defensive midfielder for TPV Tampere, FF Jaro, HJK and Tampere United in Finland, Molde, Lillestrøm and Moss in Norway, before joining Stockport County in England for a £350,000 transfer fee, as well as for Hibernian in Scotland. He was known for his powerful shots with both feet and as a hard tackler.

When playing for HJK, Wiss represented the club in the 1998–99 UEFA Champions League group stage.

He has also appeared over 40 times for the Finnish national team.

Coaching career

After retiring in 2007 at the age of 35, he worked both as a youth coach and as a sporting director for Tampere United between 2008 and 2009. He also managed the Finnish under-15 football team.

On 29 October 2010 it was announced that Wiss had succeeded the longtime head coach Ari Hjelm at Tampere United. [1] He signed a two-year contract, with an option for a two-year extension, with the club on the same day. [1] [2] However, the club was banned from competition for the 2011 season.

Wiss was the manager of Finland national under-18 football team since 1 January 2014. [3]

On 6 November 2015 it was announced that Wiss is taking the head coach position at Ilves starting on 1 January 2016. [4]

On 23 September 2022, Wiss signed a contract with Inter Turku as a manager for 2023 and 2024 seasons, with an option for an additional year. [5] On 6 November 2023, after one season with the club, Wiss was fired due to a harassment incident. [6]

On 13 August 2024, it was reported in Finnish media that Wiss would start as the new manager of Veikkausliiga club Kuopion Palloseura (KuPS) in the 2025 Veikkausliiga season. [7] Two days later, the club confirmed the future signing. [8] Tomi Erola, the CEO of KuPS, stated that the club's values were made clear for Wiss, and they think that no one should be judged definitively for a mistake, referring to an incident which led Wiss to be fired from Inter.
