Alekno
According to life.ru, Alekno will not remain head coach of Russia men’s volleyball team! This source writes that the coach thanked everyone in the Russian Volleyball Federation for the opportunity they gave him, but that he cannot continue with his job due to health reasons and because he wants to focus on working in Zenit Kazan.
Also, life.ru adds that the Russian Volleyball Federation will officially announce parting ways with Alekno in November.
Alekno took over Russia men’s national team last summer, while he managed to lead the team to the Olympic Games 2016 by winning the European Olympic Qualifier. However, Russia lost the semifinals clash against Brazil in Rio, while then they lost the medal after the USA made a stunning comeback in the 3rd place match.

Good luck to Russia NT… Alekno took over the team after World League 2015 (with 1 win 11 lost, 5 pt.). He re-built the team to win a Rio Olympic ticket and finished at 4th place. I think he did a good job in such limited time.
It’s unbelievable. Again dark days for Russia start…I thought it can be dawn of Russia for rise of phonix in 2020 Tokyo
@M yeah the darks again for russia. so sad he already did amazing job, he lift russia from the dark days and i also thought russia will rise like a phoenix in tokyo 🙁 for sure alot will retire from the national team
@DE JAE69 yes our dreams fade away and hopes are gone with the wind…
Don’t leave the national team, please. Your boys need you. Instead of that, leave zenit.
