2,000年に日本でアジアコーチセミナーが開催された。日本バレーボール界の主だった指導者が100名集まって講師であったべラスコ氏の話に聞き入った。
イタリア男子チームの監督として、オリンピックの金メダルだけ逃したが、それ以外のワールドカップ、世界選手権大会など主要な国際大会の金メダルを手に入れた。
こんどはアルゼンチンでどのようなチームを創るのであろうか？
また、名将を送り出したイランは、どうなるのか？
気にはなるところである。

| Julio Velasco is widely credited for reviving the sport of volleyball in Iran |
Tehran, Iran, February 10, 2014 - Julio Velasco will step down as coach of the Iran national volleyball team to lead the men’s team in his home country Argentina, as announced by the Iranian Volleyball Federation.
Velasco, who was appointed head coach of the Iran men's national team in 2011, will take up the top job in Argentina following a request from the country’s President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
“Velasco has improved Iranian volleyball over the past few years. We agreed with his request to keep our relationship good,” said the President of the Iran Volleyball Federation, Mohammad-Reza Davarzani. “He will continue his cooperation with us as our consultant and advisor.”
Under Velasco’s leadership the Iran team impressed in their World League debut last year. “We have shown we belong among the world’s best,” said Velasco referring to his team’s impressive record of five wins from 10 matches. Iran was one of the surprise packages of the 2013 World League defeating giants Italy, Cuba, Serbia, and Germany in the tournament and are currently No. 12 in the FIVB World Ranking.
