The coach of the Polish volleyball team has been a highly sought-after person for several days. He often appears in the media, gives interviews, he was even invited to dinner at Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz. Stefan Antiga deserved fame, because his pupils are world champions .
Antiga became the coach of the Polish national volleyball team in May 2014 year. It only has 38 Years, is French by origin and played as a volleyball player himself. Between 2007, a 2014 he played for Skra Bełchatów a year - previously he played for France, Italy and Spain, winning many prestigious awards, np. European Supercup in 2001 year. W 2004 of the year he was in the national team of France at the Olympic Games in Athens. Stefan Antiga was the first famous foreign volleyball player, who started playing for the Polish national team. His last match in Skra, ending his career, was the match against Asseco Resovia Rzeszów 27 April 2014 year. Already 23 October 2013 of the year, he was announced as the new coach of the Polish national team, and a few months later he actually took up the position. His great success was winning the world championship 21 Sept. 2014 year, when the Polish national team defeated Brazil in the final match 3:1.
Let's hope so, that Stefan Antiga will continue to lead the Polish national team, for which further successes are waiting. Finding replacements for Wlazły or Winiarski will be quite a challenge for him, who ended their careers after the championships. However, the coach will surely find new players.
