Whispers from Turkish media hint at a major shake-up for Galatasaray’s volleyball team next season. Italian coaching icon Massimo Barbolini, currently leading Houston in the U.S. LOVB league, is rumored to be making a comeback to the club he once helmed.
The plan? Barbolini would take over as head coach, while Alberto Bigarelli, who stepped in mid-season, would stay on as assistant coach. With Barbolini’s history of success, and having previously coached Turkish powerhouses Galatasaray and Eczacıbaşı, excitement is building among fans.
Is this the move that will propel Galatasaray back to the top of the Vodafone Sultanlar Ligi? The volleyball world awaits the official announcement.
