Paris, 22 Mar Bernardo de Rezende, “Bernardinho”, who for fifteen years led the volleyball team of his country, Brazil, has resigned as a French coach after only seven months in the position for family reasons. In a statement, the French Volleyball Federation (FFVolley) explained on Tuesday in a statement that it has accepted the resignation of the 62-year-old coach due to “personal problems that do not allow him to dedicate himself to the French national team, whose goal is to retain his Olympic title in Paris in 2024". The FFVolley specified that Bernardinho has proposed to organize his succession. “We had the best coach to meet our goals until the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and I can only regret this situation,” said federation president Eric Tanguy, who said he understood the Brazilian's “reasons” and thanks him that he will remain “available” to prepare his succession. The interested party himself acknowledged that leaving the bench of the French national team is “one of the most difficult and painful decisions of my entire career” because of the appreciation he has for the team and for the support he had. “I received an incredible reception from all French volleyball and it makes me very sad and frustrated not to go until the end of the project we had started to launch,” he said. Regarding his decision, he indicated that “there were no other possible ones for my family, which remains a priority”. Bernardinho had taken over in the summer of 2021 from Laurent Tillie, who had been at the helm of the bench of the French national team for nine years. Prior to that, he had shined as the coach of Canarinha since 2001 and for more than 15 years in which he won more than 30 titles, including two Olympic golds (in 2004 and 2016), two Olympic silvers (in 2008 and 2012) and three world championships (in 2002, 2006 and 2010) as well as eight world leagues. Bernardinho, who was a player for the Brazilian national team, had previously been the coach of the women's team, with which he won two Olympic bronzes (1996 and 2000), three Grand Prix (1994, 1996 and 1998) and the South Americans in 1995, 1997 and 1999).
