Does this coach ever tire of chasing the highest achievements in sports, or producing top-notch results under constant pressure? According to multiple sports media outlets, Giovanni Guidetti might be ready to take on yet another challenge—this time as the head coach of Canada’s women’s volleyball team for the Olympic cycle leading up to LA 2028.
Reports suggest that Guidetti is set to sign a contract with the Canadian Volleyball Federation in the coming days. The experienced coach, known for his success at VakifBank and his time with national teams like Serbia, Turkey, the Netherlands, Germany, and Bulgaria, seems to be adding another country to his impressive résumé.

After parting ways with Serbia following the Paris 2024 Olympics, where results reportedly fell short of expectations, Guidetti may now lead a Canadian team looking to rebuild after narrowly missing out on Olympic qualification. The squad, previously coached by Shannon Winzer, will face a packed schedule this year, including hosting a Nations League stage in Ottawa in June and competing in a tough World Championship group featuring Turkey, Bulgaria, and Spain.
While the contract is yet to be finalized, this potential move could bring fresh energy to Canadian volleyball as the team sets its sights on LA 2028. Is this the beginning of a new golden era under Guidetti’s leadership? Only time will tell.
