Avital Selinger replaced Dragutin Baltic as the head coach of Volero Zurich in April 2015. The 56-year-old Israel-born Dutchman took over a Zurich team that had not lost in more than 100 matches in domestic competitions, and he extended that streak to lead the team to their sixth successive Swiss national league title. He has been head coach of two teams he could face in Zurich – Dinamo Krasnodar and Hisamitsu Springs. As a player, Selinger won two European championship bronze medals in 1989 and 1991, and a silver as part of the 1992 Olympic Dutch team coached by his father Arie.
