The International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) has granted the Philippine National Volleyball Federation’s (PNVF) request for a Brazilian coach for the national women’s team by appointing Olympic gold medalist Jorge Edson Souza de Brito to the post.
PNVF President Tats Suzara said Souza de Brito will work with PH women’s team mentor Odjie Mamon for two years upon his arrival in June or July with the FIVB subsidizing his salary.
“We are thankful for the FIVB’s quick response to our request and we are more thankful that the federation picked an excellent man for the job,” Suzara said in a statement.
