Head Coach Cretu and Slovenian Volleyball Federation part ways

As the Volleyball Federation of Slovenia officially announced, the Romanian expert Gheorghe Cretu will be no longer the head coach of their men’s national team, which he led to fourth place at last year FIVB World Championship in Slovenia and Poland. The Volleyball Federation of Slovenia and Gheorghe Cretu did not reach a mutual agreement on the extension of cooperation.

Cretu took over the Slovenian national team less than three weeks before the start of the competition as, until then, the head coach was the Australian Mark Lebedew, who was suddenly dismissed after the VNL. Under his command, the national team reached the World Championship semi-finals in what was the greatest success of Slovenian volleyball.
