Ovchinnikov appointed Russia’s head coach until London Olympics
Ovchinnikov, who is also the mentor of Dinamo KRASNODAR, was chosen by the Russian Volleyball Federation after the previous head coach Vladimir Kuzyutkin resigned following the very poor performance displayed by the Russian national team at the European Championship where Gamova & Co. lost to Turkey in the quarterfinals.
According to the contract he recently signed, Ovchinnikov will stay with the team until the 2012 Olympics in London but the first task will be to book a trip to the Olympiad via the Continental qualifier scheduled for next May 1-6 in Turkey.
