Three years and it’s over. The coach of the Polish national team lost his job

Stefano Lavarini has been the coach of the Polish national volleyball team since last year. The Italian coach was a good impulse for the team, which, after the turmoil with the previous coach, Jacek Nawrocki, needed new motivation. Cooperation with the 44-year-old quickly brought the first solid result in the form of a quarter-final of the world championship.

The shocking dismissal of the coach of the Polish national team. “The best solution”

In the off-season, Lavarini worked with the Italian club Igor Gorgonzola Novara. The Italian took over this function in 2020 and led the team to the vice-championship of the country. The team from Novara ended the previous season in the semi-finals, losing a two-legged match with the later champions, i.e. Imoco Conegliano with Joanna Wołosz in the squad.

The 44-year-old’s contract runs until 2024. However, the club’s authorities decided to terminate the cooperation earlier, which he informed via social media. – The club would like to thank Stefano for the journey together and his daily commitment to his work. We wish him all the best in his future career.

The decision of the authorities was commented on the official website of the club by general manager Enrico Marchioni. “In recent months, we have embarked on a deep renewal with the start of a new sporting cycle that has brought several innovations to the team line-up. After a frank and calm confrontation, we realized that there is no complete convergence in some situations, and for this reason we jointly assessed that the best solution for everyone might be to stop working together. In short, it is not a decision related to the road we have traveled together, but to the road that awaits us, he concluded.
