AKARI head coach Jorge Edson Souza de Brito has tendered his resignation after one year at the helm.
The club confirmed the departure of the concurrent Philippine women’s national volleyball team tactician in a social media post on Thursday morning.
“Akari management has accepted the resignation of Coach Jorge and offer our sincerest appreciation and thank him for his time and service for the 4 conferences he has served as head tactician of this young and promising team,” the Chargers wrote.
De Brito’s resignation from the club will take effect on Friday.
"Coach Jorge Souza de Brito has submitted his resignation as head coach of the Akari Chargers to be effective December 15, 2023."
“We wish Coach Jorge the best of luck in his future endeavors. More announcements will follow soon as to the new direction the Akari Chargers will take moving forward.”
De Brito’s tutelage saw Akari record six total wins in three Premier Volleyball League conferences in charge before a breakthrough five-win campaign in the ongoing All-Filipino Conference — good for the club’s best-ever seventh-place finish.
The reason behind the Brazilian mentor's exit from Akari was not disclosed and his successor as head tactician has yet to be named as of posting time.
