“It is an honor to be mentioned as potential head coach of Russia because it is one of the best teams in Europe. At the moment, however, I focus on working with Skra Bełchatów because I really care about achieving something big with this team.

“Since the end of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro I have not had any contact with the Polish Volleyball Federation.

I hope, however, that it will be completed according to the contract,” Skra coach denied the possibility to take over Poland at the moment as well.
