The Italian Lorenzo Micelli takes over as the new national team captain for Isabelle Haak and other players in Sweden's women's national volleyball team, which will play the World Championship in Thailand later this year and the European Championship at home next year.
"I'm going into this wholeheartedly and want to help grow the sport and take this national team further on its development journey," says Micelli in a press release.
He succeeds his compatriot Giulio Cesare Bregoli, who led Sweden to the World Championship for the first time in the team's history. Bregoli is now Germany's national team captain.
Micelli is currently the coach of Olympiakos in Greece.
