Not volleyball tournaments in Thailand or the Philippines, but the Indonesian volleyball tournament is a place that attracts a lot of foreign soldiers from around the world.
Not only attracts athletes, many coaches also come to this Southeast Asian country with the desire to find a good job. Among them are Nicolas Vives, the coach of the Cuban Men's Volleyball Team.
He has just arrived at the Jakarta Lavani Allo Bank team, the defending champions of Indonesia. This coach took on the hot seat instead of Chinese coach Jiang Jie.
Immediately after starting a new job in Indonesia, Nicolas Vives had his first victory over the team in the same city. A better start could not be better for this team.
This is the second foreign team Nicolas Vives. Last season, he was the head coach of UAE's Hatta Dubai Club.
Nicolas Vives is the coach of the Cuban Men's Volleyball team since 2017. After the end of the season in Indonesia, he will return to his homeland to lead the Cuba team.
The goal of Nicolas Vives and his main students is the Volleyball Nations League 2023 that Cuban male volleyball has won the right to participate after many years of absence.
The Indonesian league volleyball tournament has 8 teams, allowing two foreign soldiers to play at the same time. Some notable names of the national tournament is the island, Isac Santos of Brazil and the owner Samuel Holt American.
