Last season, the 31-year-old volleyball player decided not to play at the European Championships. Although it was most often mentioned that the main reason for such a step was the player’s private affairs, the conflict with the then coach Jacek Nawrocki and president Jacek Kasprzyk also left its mark.
Key changes in the ranks of Polish female volleyball
In the course of her career, among others, three times for the Italian championship, and last season triumphed in the Champions League, may end this unpleasant chapter. Much has changed since the information about the conflict with the representation authorities was released.
A few months ago, he became the new president of the Polish Volleyball Federation, and after six years he said goodbye to the women’s one. The former volleyball player decided to create a group whose task is to take care of the female team, headed by Aleksandra Jagieło.
Nawrocki’s place was taken by Stefano Lavarini, who so far has been the coach of the Italian club Igor Gorgonzola Novara. The 43-year-old will therefore combine the role of the club manager and the coach of the Polish national team in.
Wołosz does not rule out returning to the staff
On September 23 this year, the world championships will start in Poland and the Netherlands. At the moment, it cannot be ruled out that Joanna Wołosz will be in the white and red squad. The player in an interview with “II Gazzettino Treviso” stated that she is ready to return to the national team.
– Such competitions as the World Championships have a great charm, the opportunity to play them in front of your own audience would be a unique opportunity. If I had received an appointment call, I would almost certainly have agreed. I am also thinking about the possibility of participating in Paris in 2024, it is the dream of every athlete – she said.
Wołosz also commented on her club coach Daniele Santarelli, who also fought for the position of the coach of the Polish female team. – I feel sorry for Daniele, but in fact he is not angry with the decisions made by the union. I am glad that he will be coaching the Serbian national team, he deserves this great chance. Lavarini is a great coach, I think it is an amazing qualitative leap for the national team and all athletes – she added.
