The Korea Volleyball Association said today (28th), "We have not reached a contract renewal with Lavarini as the head coach of the women's volleyball team."



[Korea Volleyball Association official: I consulted with Lavarini on good terms several times during that time, but he said, 'I was really worried about the association's proposal.'] Although



not a player, Lavarini, who grew up as a world-class leader, was a member of the Korean national team two years ago. He led Shinhwa in the quarterfinals of the Tokyo Olympics.



Kim Yeon-kyung emphasized fast toss and attack, improved the national team's constitution, and created a change with customized tactics that thoroughly analyzed the opposing team.



Although he received a lot of love for his unique friendliness, his companionship with Lavarini did not continue.



The Volleyball Association offered coach Lavarini to extend his contract until next year's Hangzhou Asian Games, but Lavarini expressed his gratitude and chose to break up.



[Lavarini / Former Women's Volleyball Team Manager: The whole nation believed in us and supported us for the best results. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you.] The



Volleyball Association has appointed coach Cesar from Spain, who has led the Tokyo Shinhwa by assisting coach Lavarini as the new head coach.
