Korean Air announced the appointment of a new coach.
Korean Air officially announced on the 10th that it has appointed Brazilian coach Henan Dal Zotto as its new head coach.
Henan was one of the iconic figures in Brazilian volleyball history and was selected for the national team at a young age of 16 and played significantly in various international competitions, including the Olympics, until 1989 as the main outside heater of the Brazilian national team for his excellent receiving ability and smart offensive play.
Even after turning into a leader, he served as manager of Cimed and Unisul, Brazil's prestigious clubs, as well as Italy's Sisley Treviso, showing outstanding capabilities in player development and team tactics.

Henan will begin his official term by participating in the 2025 foreign player tryout in Turkiye in early May, and will join the team in earnest from June when team training begins, accelerating preparations for the next season.
A Korean Air official stressed that Henan is a well-known leader in the international volleyball community, and based on his proven leadership, he is confident that he will greatly help improve individual players' skills as well as the team's long-term growth.
Korean Air advanced to the championship game this season, but failed to win for the fifth consecutive year by giving up the throne to Hyundai Capital. And after the championship match, he declared his farewell to manager Tommy Tilikainen, who was leading the team.
