The Bulgarian Volleyball Federation has officially announced Gianlorenzo Blengini as the new head coach of the Bulgarian men’s national team. Blengini inked a three-year contract with an option for a two-year extension.
Federation president Lyubomir Ganev expressed that Blengini’s appointment stems from a desire to have a coach of authority, capable of developing young talents and making the team competitive enough to aim for the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The federation emphasizes a year-round commitment to the national team, a practice gleaned from successful volleyball nations.
Blengini, whose coaching career began in 2000, brings a wealth of experience and a track record of success, including stints with the Italian national team. His role will extend beyond coaching to include the development of coaching capacities within Bulgaria and support for the youth national teams.
