1 min read
Legendary French coach of Cameroonian origin Éric Ngapeth returns to the volleyball scene after 6 years.
The 61-year-old took over the post of the second division side (the vice-leaders at the moment) Nancy until the end of the season to help it qualify for Ligue A. Ngapeth replaced Martin Demar, who was unable to continue his work for health reasons.
Ngapeth, the father of two volleyball players, Earvin and Swan, led some of the biggest clubs in France since starting his coaching career in 1992 (PSG, Poitiers, Fréjus, and Paris) until leaving Tours in 2011. His journey continued in Russia’s Kuzbass Kemerovo and most recently in Tunisia’ Club Sportif Sfaxien in 2014/15.
In recent years, even though he didn’t practice coaching, he was present in volleyball as an instructor for the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB).
