He says he hopes to remain involved in volleyball after he retires from competing, but does not see himself as a coach. "I hope to play a few more years because the motivations are very high. I'd like to lend a hand to Apulian [southern Italy] volleyball, maybe at the federation level. For sure to date I exclude the possibility of being a coach." (oasport.it, 28 Dec 2020)
