Michelle Cobb appointed as Akari's assistant manager after retirement from volleyball
Retired volleyball player Michelle Cobb is now taking a leadership role in her club, the Akari Chargers.
The team confirmed Cobb's appointment as an assistant manager on Thursday, a day after the veteran setter announced her retirement from competitive play.
"We're so excited to have you continue contributing your wisdom and leadership to the team," Akari said.
Cobb on Wednesday said she is "retiring with a grateful heart, proud of everything this journey has given me."
As part of the Chargers, Cobb was able to guide players like Faith Nisperos, Fifi Sharma, Celine Domingo, and Ivy Lacsina and would help the franchise reach its first-ever finals appearance during the 2024 Reinforced Conference.
Prior to Akari, the De La Salle University standout also played with the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers.
