(LVPI) on Tuesday confirmed that Ramil de Jesus has stepped down as head coach of the national women&#x27;s volleyball team, just under two months after he accepted the position.Set to take over as head coach is Shaq delos Santos, who calls the shot for Petron in the Philippine Superliga (PSL) and was formerly the head coach of Far Eastern University.&quot;Apparently, Coach Ramil has his own reasons. One of them I think is &#x27;yung kanyang commitment, &#x27;yung schedule,&quot; said LVPI vice-president Peter Cayco on Tuesday, when delos Santos was formally introduced to some members of the national team pool at the Arellano Gym.&quot;Kasi, he is now coaching three teams,&quot; Cayco said of de Jesus.Aside from coaching the national team, de Jesus also handles the De La Salle University women&#x27;s volleyball squad and F2 Logistics in the PSL.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/volleyball/news/2018/06/05/delos-santos-takes-de-jesus-spot-nat-l-team-coach-42501">READ: Delos Santos takes over De Jesus&#x27; spot as national team coach</a></li></ul>Cayco said he met with de Jesus some two weeks ago and asked him to chat. &quot;He smiled, tapos si (La Salle assistant coach) Benson Bocboc na ang nag-inform sa amin na pass muna sila,&quot; he added.&quot;I mean, I respect his decision kung &#x27;yun ang decision niya,&quot; Cayco said. &quot;Mahirap naman na pilitin natin. Baka nga mapabayaan niya because of his schedule.&quot;Cayco said he was not personally informed by de Jesus of his decision, but the coach talked to another official, Philip Ella Juico.&quot;We have to move on na, kasi we&#x27;re short of time na eh,&quot; said Cayco. &quot;So we met and we decided na si Coach Shaq na nga, so here we are now.&quot;The responsibilities of handling three volleyball teams was something that de Jesus contemplated before he accepted the national team job back in April.&quot;Talagang may magsa-sacrifice eh,&quot; de Jesus said at the time. &quot;Kailangan natin i-manage ng husto kung ano &#x27;yung dapat gawin.&quot;&quot;So, hindi pupwedeng focus ka sa national team, focus ka sa La Salle. Kailangan, meron ma-sacrifice. Kailangan kung magna-national team, mag-national team. Then siguro mag-sacrifice ‘yung school and ‘yung company team,&quot; he said.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
