VETERAN coach Dante Alinsunurin will not call the shots for the Philippine national men’s volleyball team for the 32nd Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia in May.
Alinsunurin said the decision of the Philippine National Volleyball Federation to relieve him of his post was due to a conflict in schedule as he is also handling the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in the PVL and National University in the UAAP.
“Ang nangyari is siyempre, nagsabi ako sa kanila na magha-handle na ako ng women’s (team),” Alinsunurin, tapped as the new tactician of Choco Mucho, said last Saturday in the PVL All-Filipino Conference press conference at the Discovery Suites Manila in Ortigas.
“Parang tinanong nila ako kung kakayanin ko daw. Iyon nga, dahil sa sobrang sabi nila na baka mag-busy ako, baka hindi ko ma-handle. Kinausap ako ng team manager ko na iyong sitwasyon napag-usapan nila na ibaba nila ako. Hindi na ako iyong magiging head coach ng men’s (national team),” he added.
