It looks he's going to get 1.5 million €/year for the next 3 seasons...

Well, they were already paying him a million a year, so only 500k extra needed to be found  Plus it helps when your team's roster is only of 15 people. 

 

I wonder if Matej Kazijski is still top 10 though in the salary table..

Mark Lebedew took charge of Slovenia just a few days ago after Alberto Giuliani decided to now renew his contract. There are big expectations of him as the main goal is for this golden generation to qualify for the OG in Paris in two years time. No pressure

 beat  3-0 in the European Golden League semis.

Second straight win against Croatia after last year's Euro, and still FIVB decided to send Croatia to the WCh to replace Russia. They have proved time and time again that awarding wild-cards was within their capabilities, but not this time. Great progress and hosting the next Olympics is not enough it seems.
