Akari taps Jorge Souza de Brito as head coach

Published


Akari made sure that its first-ever signing was huge.

The Chargers have tapped Philippine Women’s National Volleyball Team head coach Jorge Edson Souza de Brito as their first-ever head coach in the Premier Volleyball League.

The team announced the development on Thursday.

Last year, Souza de Brito was tapped by the Philippine National Volleyball Federation to be part of the national team’s staff through the FIVB’s development project platform.

The 55-year-old native of Porto Alegre also coached in clubs in Brazil, Turkey, Japan, and Korea prior.

Akari is set to make its PVL debut in the Reinforced Conference.

Souza de Brito will also hold a tryout for the team on July 1 and 3 at Pace Academy in Quezon City.
