Philip Blain to leave Japan after Paris Games

The French coach of the Asians will take over a Korean team after the Olympics at home

The head coach of the Japanese men's national volleyball team, Philippe Blain, will no longer lead the country after the end of the Olympic Games in Paris, which start at the end of this month, according toivolleymagazine.it. The reason is that the Frenchman signed a contract with the Korean club team 'Hyundai Skywalkers' at the beginning of this year. Officially, Blain will take over the team in October. The French coach was at the helm of Japan since 2021, and before that he was an assistant to his predecessor Yuichi Nagakaichi.
