The time as coach of the former star player Regla Torres will have a new chapter starting next January, when she assumes command of the Guerreras de Puebla during the first edition of the Liga de Volleyball Professional (LVP) Mexico.
The one who was considered by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) as the best player of the 20th century will assume command of the project that aims to incorporate important international talent, according to report of The Sun of Puebla.
According to what was reported, each of the teams will be able to count on the services of six foreign players, and in the case of the Puebla team, the managers hope to incorporate figures from Trinidad and Tobago, Brazil and Cuba.
The president of the franchise, Guillermo Ramírez, explained that the roster is still under construction, since between 25 and 30% are missing to complete the payroll.
For this, he explained, they carried out tryouts that would allow local prospects to be identified that can join the group, in which Torres, who was present at the official presentation of the team, must participate.
The media points out that the formation would be headed by Paulette Muñoz, libero of the Mexican national team, and Andrea Félix, opposite Pan American medalist and recent runner-up in the Asunción 2025 Junior Pan American Games.
After her retirement from the sport, after the 2002 world championship, Regla assumed coaching duties for the Cuban national teams of different categories until 2023, when she joined the Russian club Uraloshka, which was then managed by the legendary Nikolay Parpol.
