Coach Avon Danja said in an interview on the 8th, "I think it will be hard to see in Korea next season after winning the fifth game of the women's championship match against Dodram 2024  ̄ 2025 V-League Chung Kwan-jang." We greet you in advance," he said, making the transfer a fait accompli.
Coach Avon Danja was appointed as a coach in the middle of the 2022-2023 season and came to Korea. Coach Abondaji, who also won the Turkiye with Kim Yeon-koung, took the helm in the fifth round at the time and led the team to the championship, but missed the championship by receiving the first reverse sweep in V-League history, which was two consecutive wins and three consecutive losses after winning against the Korea Expressway Corporation, which was ranked third. Last season, he advanced to the championship by winning the articles of association in the playoffs as second place, but failed again after losing three consecutive games to Hyundai Engineering & Construction.
However, this season, the last of his contract, he ranked No. 1 in the regular league with Kim Yeon-kyung, who announced his retirement, and won the last five games at the Championship, so he can leave Korea with the gold medal around his neck.
Manager Avondaga said, `It's a great win. Winning involves everything. During Media Day, I heard that it was difficult for our team to advance to the playoffs. There was also talk that our team's power was weaker than Hyundai Engineering & Construction, Jeong Kwan-jang, and IBK Industrial Bank, but we won. I think it's a great win."
Ahead of the championship, many volleyball fans were curious about Abondaji's move as Italian media reported that he would return to Fenerbahce.
Asked about the transfer rumor, manager Avon Danja said, `In fact, it is highly likely that it will not be available next season, so I want to say goodbye in advance"I don't know where I'm going to go. I don't think we'll see it in Korea next year." Although the team he will go to has not been specifically decided, he made it clear that there is no possibility of signing a contract with the Korean team, including Heungkuk Life Insurance.
When asked if there was any impressive part of his nearly three seasons in Korea, manager Avonjada said, `The advantages and disadvantages of the club's operation and support are so good that there are no other countries,' adding, `There seems to be a limit to the growth of players.' "It's a league with a lot of potential, and I think there are pros and cons to having a player with a high profile coming out."
Kim Yeon-kyung also said the team knew that manager Avonja was leaving. Kim Yeon-koung said "The coach said goodbye to the players. I understand you're stopping. "I want to tell you that our players have learned so much from the coach. He is said to be a coach who will follow the example of volleyball even if he asks the players. It's made us grow a lot. And I thank you because I finished well with the victory."
Director Avondaga thanked the fans "In fact, everyone. I think I always did my best"Thank you to the fans for your support. I hope the fans who sent us the truck after the COBO Cup will send us the truck tomorrow," he jokingly said his last goodbyes.
