Team profile
Brazil have been one of the strongest teams in volleyball history and the world No. 1 will be favourites to defend their crown in Japan this year. Their recent success has coincided with Bernardinho's sparkling 10-year run as coach. He has led the team to a string of victories, including first place in the 2001 and 2003 editions of the FIVB World League and the gold medal at the 2002 FIVB World Championship.
In 2003, he guided the team to further titles in the FIVB World League and the FIVB World Cup and, in 2004, Brazil claimed their fourth FIVB World League title and second Olympic gold medal. They won the FIVB World League again in 2005 and took gold at the FIVB World Grand Champions Cup later in the year. After winning the FIVB World League in 2006, as well as the FIVB World Championship title, they followed up by winning the FIVB World League and FIVB World Cup in 2007.
Their run of success was halted in 2008, but they took the FIVB World League again in 2009 and 2010, in addition to the FIVB World Grand Champions Cup. They capped off 2010 by winning the FIVB World Championship in Italy before adding a silver medal in the 2011 FIVB World League earlier this year, going down in the final to Russia. Now one waits to see if this majestic team can return to the summit.
Coach profile
Bernardinho is a former setter who finished fifth at the 1980 Olympics and won silver at the 1982 World Champs and 1984 Olympics. As a coach, he worked in Italy before taking the helm of the Brazil women’s team from 1994 to 2000. He led them to two Olympic bronze medals and two World Grand Prix titles. His success continued after switching to the men’s team in 2001 with Olympic gold in 2004 and silver in 2008, three World Champs titles, eight World League crowns, two World Cup titles and two World Grand Champions Cup gold medals.
