Farm Fresh has appointed veteran Italian coach Alessandro Lodi as its new head coach ahead of the upcoming PVL conferences.
The Farm Fresh Foxies are strengthening their push to climb the PVL standings by tapping Italian Alessandro Lodi as their new head coach.
The move, led by Strong Group Athletics (SGA), highlights the team’s renewed focus on growth and competitiveness.
The veteran Lodi replaces Benson Bocboc, who served as interim coach during the 2024 All-Filipino Conference, where the young squad finished in 10th place.

Lodi, whose coaching resume spans across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, brings a wealth of international experience and tactical acumen to one of the PVL's youngest franchises. His most recent stint came with the Dukla Liberec in the Czech Republic.
“We’re not just maintaining momentum—we’re becoming stronger,” said Farm Fresh team manager Kiara Cruz. “The arrival of coach Alessandro Lodi as head coach and coach Carlo Buzzichelli as our new strength and conditioning head marks a new chapter for our teams.”
Joining Lodi on the sidelines is fellow Italian Carlo Buzzichelli, a renowned strength and conditioning coach who will oversee the performance programs not just for Farm Fresh, but across all SGA-backed volleyball teams, including ZUS Coffee.
With Lodi and Buzzichelli now in the fold, expectations are high for the Foxies to finally make their next breakthrough in the PVL.
The two Italian coaches will guide the likes of Trisha Tubu, Rachel Anne Daquis, Jolina Dela Cruz, Louie Romero, and Lorene Toring.
