Spain will enter a new era in international volleyball after the Royal Spanish Volleyball Federation (RFEVB) confirmed the departure of women’s national team coach Pascual Saurín, ending his 13-year tenure as part of a wider overhaul of the country’s national team programs.
Saurín, appointed in 2013, led Spain through 227 matches and oversaw a generational transition. His tenure was highlighted by Spain’s return to the 2025 FIVB Women’s World Championship after a 40-year absence.
Spain also qualified for four consecutive European Championships, reaching the knockout stage for the first time in 2019, and claimed European League bronze medals in 2017 and 2021.
