Voluntari is now leading Alba Blaj in the Romanian championship final series 2:1 by the way and can win a second championship already today.
I can already see Suhl drawing Voluntari again in the Champions League if they win the title.
It just feels inevitable at that point to travel to Bucharest for a third time this year, even though I'd prefer we play someone else.
USC Münster also announced a new signing today. They have signed German player Chalina Lederer for the middle blocker position. In Germany, she played for TSV TB München and TV Dingolfing. She then went to the USA to play college volleyball until the end of last year. After that, she joined the newly founded Mexican professional league. By the way, she was coached by Regla Torres at her club, Guerreras de Puebla.
Quite interesting that she played together with Emma Sambale both at TSV TB München and at TV Dingolfing and they both ended up in the Bundesliga with completely different paths.
Celine Jebens apparently also played for TSV TB München together with Sambale and Lederer.
So sad
There were rumours of Fijok joining Voluntari. Actually a lot a of good players went there in the past. Is their league better, do they pay more?
Their coach is Giovanni Caprara, so a lot of players go to Voluntari because of him.
Perhaps he's doing the athletic training with her as a freelancer. He's been listed as looking for a club on Volleybox for quite some time now, so it's unclear whether he'll even stay in Suhl.
Alexander Mantlik mentioned at the end of season celebration that they managed to convince him to stay for another year after they qualified for the Champions League, despite lucrative offers. Michal Kotulic is the only staff leaving.
