Nikola Grbić had moved to Russia for the 2013/2014 campaign joining the ranks of Zenit Kazan after their setter Łukasz Żygadło suffered a serious injury preventing him from playing for the whole season. He played a major role in making sure the Tatars would win the Russian Superleague after a rather disappointing performance at the Final Four tournament of the Champions League where they ended up in fourth place. Still the news he would stop playing and embark on a second life as Volleyball coach caught many by surprise. "The day after the last match of the Italian Playoffs I received a phone call from the president of Sir Safety Perugia who offered me the opportunity to be their coach for the next season", said Grbić. Nikola will start his second life in Volleyball at the helm of Sir Safety Perugia, the runners-up of Italy’s national league who are set to make their debut in the elite Champions League this year. Nikola is not afraid of the challenges ahead: "There is no room for fear! Actually I am very excited with this challenge and can’t wait to start my work with the team. The team has set very high goals but I do have high goals too, so this is something we have in common. It will be difficult to follow the match from the side lines, at least at the beginning, but I will get used to it. I want to make sure that all of my players perform at their best and this then will turn into good results. And if we do not win, at least we will know that we have done everything we could in order to achieve this goal".
