Former women's volleyball team coach Stefano Lavarini, who led the Korean women's volleyball team to the Olympic quarterfinals, said that he is thinking of a possible direction to work with the Korean national team in the future.
After the Olympics, coach Lavarini, who returned to the Italian league Novara, said in a video interview with the SBS YouTube channel Video Mug that he was talking with the Korean Volleyball Association about this.
