Previously, the vice president of the volleyball federation had announced in an interview with Mehr that 5 coaches have given the green light to the Iranian volleyball federation and we have to see which coach among these people is closer to Iranian volleyball.
“Balangini“; Inappropriate option for the national team bench
“Lorenzo BalanginiThe fifty-two-year-old former head coach of the Italian national volleyball team is one of the options of the Iranian national volleyball team. “BalanginiDuring his 6 years as the head coach of Italy, he has won the silver medal of the 2015 World Cup, the bronze medal of the 2015 European Championship and the silver medal of the 2016 Olympics. Of course, he was without honor from 2017 to 2021.

Considering the conditions of the Iranian national volleyball team, the federation is looking for an option that can be in the team full time.
“Vladimir Alceno“; An option with many pros and cons
Another possible option to lead the Iranian national team is “Vladimir Alceno” Is. He had previously led the national team during the Tokyo Olympics and although he did not achieve success with the national team, his name is still mentioned as a possible option. “AlcenoThe 56-year-old has a coaching experience in Russian club teams as well as the national team of this country, and has been able to win many honors with these teams. Winning the Olympic bronze medal in 2008 and the Olympic gold medal in 2012 was one of his most important honors with the Russian national team. He has also won several championships in the Russian league in the club category.
Alceno He has been placed in a situation other than the candidates of the volleyball federation, which has many supporters and opponents; Some believe that he had the opportunity to participate in the national team in the Tokyo Olympics once and failed to do anything, and giving him another opportunity is not the right thing to do and it is a trial and error, but others believe that Alceno A few months before the Tokyo Olympics, he took charge of the Iranian national volleyball team and did not have much time.
In any case, he has been presented in a situation other than the options that it is said that he did not want to do this at first, but according to the words of the officials of the volleyball federation, his opinion has changed and it is heard that if “Vladimir Alceno” to consent to the head coach of Iran, in addition to “Thomas TutuluIt is possible that “reader”. Cichlo» to be added to the technical staff. with the presence of former assistantVelasco And Lozano“, it is possible to see the Russian-Italian-Argentinian triangle on the bench of the national team! But everything seems Alceno returns Considering the sensitivity of the next 10 months for the national volleyball team on the way to the League of Nations, Alceno Due to not having a club team, it has become a suitable option for the federation.

“Anastasis“; Option always on scene
One of the permanent options of the Iranian Volleyball Federation in any situation.Andrea Anastasis“He has been negotiating with the Volleyball Federation to lead the Iranian national team these days.

Piacenza It is Italy, and participation in two national teams will be subject to a fine, and the volleyball federation must pay the fine. Considering the economic situation of the Iranian Volleyball Federation, it seems unlikely that this option can come to the Iranian national volleyball team.
