MANILA, Philippines — Gerflor coach Sammy Acaylar aims to bring his winning tradition to the new-look Defenders as he makes his professional coaching debut in the 2023 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference on Sunday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Despite a winless PVL debut and a 12th place finish out of 13 teams in the Invitational Conference, Gerflor retained only two players from its previous lineup, Angelei Jingco and Pia Sarmiento, and appointed Acaylar, a distinguished men’s volleyball coach, to replace Edgar Barroga.
The 13-time NCAA men’s volleyball champion coach of the University of Perpetual Help expressed patience in leading his team to success.
“I’ve always been a champion in volleyball. I would be a hypocrite if I said that I don’t want to win the championship. All the coaches want to win. But as the new Gerflor head coach, I hope to be their lucky charm and share my experience as a champion with them,” said Acaylar in Filipino. “If we lose, we’ll accept it. In the meantime, we’re taking it one step at a time. I want my team to enjoy first and get to know me as their head coach.”
Pagdating ng panahon 🎤
