Men's professional volleyball team Hyundai Capital Skywalkers will continue their journey with head coach Philippe Blang (66), who led the club to its first-ever treble (triple crown) in history.

Hyundai Capital officially announced on the 9th that it has signed a two-year contract extension with Coach Blang, covering the period from the 2027-2028 season through the 2028-2029 season.

The renowned French-born coach Blang has demonstrated outstanding tactical capabilities by leading multiple national teams, including France, Poland, and Japan. In his first year in charge, the 2024-2025 season, he took over Hyundai Capital and swept the KOVO Cup championship, finished first in the regular league (30 wins), and won the championship finals, achieving a unified title for the first time in 19 years and the club's first-ever treble feat.

Hyundai Capital finalized this contract extension based on its firm trust in Coach Blang's coaching philosophy and team management capabilities. The club plans to leverage Coach Blang's global network to expand exchanges with top overseas clubs and introduce advanced systems, further elevating the team's international competitiveness.

Coach Blang conveyed through the club, "I am very happy to continue our challenges with Hyundai Capital, and I am grateful to the club for its unwavering trust." He added, "I will do my best to work in harmony with the players and deliver improved performance to bring the joy of victory to the fans once again."
