Italvolley, Julio Velasco has decided his future
Julio Velasco has decided: official renewal with l'Italvolley
In an interview given to the microphones of "Rai" on the occasion of the "Premio Mecenate per lo Sport", Julio Velasco, after winning the gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, has dissolved his reservations regarding his future on the bench of women'Italvolley.
"I still feel tiger eyes, will arrive in Los Angeles 2028. After the gold medal in Paris I had said that a moment of reflection was needed, now some time has passed and I can say that for the good of the national team and the movement, the intention is to go on until the next Olympics. With President Manfredi we are talking and I don't think there will be any problems in finding the agreement" began the coach of Italvolley.
"Sport in my opinion reflects an injustice, when it suits the children of migrants become Italian, when it doesn't suit, it doesn't. If è a good player or player you will see that they will become Italian and everyone will agree. I am of the idea that a person who is born, studies and works in Italy must be Italian" added Julio Velasco.
"We all pretty much agree on the renewal of Velasco, even the president of Coni è. The choice of Julio to lead the women’s national team è was obligatory for me. Our movement needed something more to get to the top rung. We needed a person of charisma for the leap in quality of a team that was already very strong. Now for us comes the most important challenge, which is to figure out how to confirm ourselves at a high level" these, instead, the statements of FIPAV President Giuseppe Manfredi.
