Graban added: “Working with IBB will be my first leadership role in this level of volleyball

“Using my experience as a coach in Poland, I can develop my style as IBB’s head coach.

“IBB has given me a chance and I am very keen to make the most of it. I know a certain amount about the club and the opposition.

“I always try my best to be prepared with all of my responsibilities. This brings concrete effects and I’m positive it will be the same at IBB.”
