  • Exiga has been gorgeous this year in Macerata...I think he's a real leader! I like him very much, one of the best in his role...Without a doubt Iwould put him near Sergio!

  • And I still miss Henno, what can I do... Though Exiga is really entertaining :lol:

  • Laurent Tillie will replace Philippe Blain as headcoach of French NT after World League.


    A former outside-hitter, Tillie has played more than 400 games with French NT.
    As a coach, he has been headcoach of Cannes since 2001, eventually leading the team to 1 French championship, and 1 French Cup.


    His son Kevin, aged 21, won the NCAA championship this season with UC Irvine, and made his debut with French NT 1month ago against Korea. He also started for the first time today against Italy.


    Laurent Tillie was chosen among other candidates, including Emanuele Zanini and Eric Ngapeth, the father Earvin Ngapeth.

    Meneau will replace Tillie in Cannes.

  • Finally someone else instead of Blain! I believe this change will help French team a lot.

  • Come on, this is just too much sad news for me.........

    There is always Pujol and Moreau, don't be sad :heart:


  • and he will play in Argentina next season , his 11th club in carrier, for Mar del Plata next season.

    Les pieds dans le fumier, mais toujours le verbe haut et la tête droite ! Cocorico !

  • how is Tillie as coach??


    ask to our czech users : he was the coach of the NT 2 years before.

  • There is always Pujol and Moreau, don't be sad :heart:

    It's not the best consolation since I don't really like Moreau, I'm not the biggest fan of Pujol and to add Samik is another guy from my holy trinity (after Antiga and Henno) who retires ;(

    Argentinian league sounds for me like another galaxy :( I can't believe ZAKsa was so stupid to let him go. Him and Zagumny was a perfect duo.
