The most decorated men’s volleyball head coach is ready to take charge of the country’s most popular women’s team.
Dante Alinsunurin has been named the new head coach of Choco Mucho for the 2023 Premier Volleyball League Season.
“The Choco Mucho Flying Titans’ organization is pleased to announce the appointment of Dante Alinsunurin Jr. as the team’s new Head Coach,” read the team’s statement.
“With Coach Dante’s experience, commitment and program, we truly believe he will lead our Titans to reach their highest potential as he has done for the other teams he has coached,” it continued.
“Maraming Salamat Coach Dante for taking on the challenge!”
With National University, Alinsunurin has won four UAAP championships and numerous Spikers’ Turf crowns.
He also led the Philippines to silver in the 30th Southeast Asian Games and NU to gold in the 2018 ASEAN school games.
This won’t be Alinsunurin’s first foray in women’s volleyball.
Back in UAAP Season 72, he was the head coach of the Lady Bulldogs but the team only tallied a 1-13 record.
He takes over from Edjet Mabbayad, who was the interim head coach of the Flying Titans when Oliver Almadro resigned.
Choco Mucho has yet to make the Finals of the PVL.
