SC Potsdam surprises with Micoli as a coach after Kapris abortion!

The volleyball players of SC Potsdam are facing a new chapter. Vladimir Kapris should actually take over the coaching position, but the former coach of Fenerbahce Istanbul canceled before starting work and decided to accept an offer from Vakifbank Istanbul. There he will be an assistant coach for Giovanni Guidetti. SCP Managing Director Eugen Benzel shows understanding for this decision and emphasizes that such an opportunity for Kapris is rare, such as rbb-online.de reported.

But SC Potsdam reacted quickly and hired a new head coach with Stefano Micoli. Micoli brings an impressive experience from his time in Italy, Turkey, Romania, Slovakia, Israel and Poland, where he worked as a chief and co-trainer. He was also part of teams who won the Champions League and were able to win numerous national titles. The 57-year-old succeeds Riccardo Boieri, who has moved to Croatia. Micoli will receive a contract by 2027 with an option for another year, which gives the association long -term planning security. Benzel emphasizes the experience and ability of Micoli to manage a cadre break, which is very opposed to SC Potsdam in the coming season maz-online.de.
