Oliver Almadro’s resignation as head coach of the CMFT is effective immediately as Edjet Mabbayad will take over as interim head coach in today’s match against UAI-Army.
Tenured Choco Mucho Flying Titans tactician Oliver Almadro has resigned effective immediately, as the Rebisco organization accepted his decision on Tuesday, November 8.
Just hours before the team’s 2:30 p.m. game against the United Auctioneers Inc-Army in the PVL’s first ever play date at the historic Araneta Coliseum, the team management announced the development on their social media accounts.
“The Choco Mucho Flying Titans organization announces acceptance of the request of Head Coach, Oliver Almadro – “Coach O”, to step down from his post in CMFT. This decision was reached for him to focus his efforts on developing the Ateneo Women’s Volleyball Program and will take effect immediately,” the statement read.
“On behalf of Rebisco Management, we will continue to support your endeavors of bringing out the best in your players and the sport,” it added.
On Monday evening, Almadro posted a statement about his sudden decision to leave the team which is currently playing in the Reinforced Conference in the PVL with a lackluster record of 2-3.
“Being the head coach of Choco Mucho Flying Titans has become one of the greatest blessings and opportunities that I have received,” said Almadro, who has been calling the shots since the team’s entry in the league in 2019.
“Though this may be abrupt and with heavy hearts, I have requested the Rebisco Management, that I will be allowed to step down as head coach of the Choco Mucho Flying Titans. This is to allow me to focus on my duties and responsibilities as head coach of the Ateneo Women’s Volleyball Team.”
Despite his resignation, Almadro will still remain with CMFT as the Rebisco Volleyball Program consultant as coach Edjet Mabbayad will serve as the interim head coach of the team starting on Tuesday.
