Renan Dal Zotto (born 19 July 1960), more commonly known as Renan, is a Brazilian former volleyball player who competed in three Summer Olympics and former head coach of the Brazilian men's national volleyball team. He was born in São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul. In 1980, he was part of the Brazilian team that finished fifth in the Olympic tournament. He played five matches.

Four years later, Renan won the silver medal with the Brazilian team in the 1984 Olympic tournament. He played all six matches. At the 1988 Games, he was a member of the Brazilian team that finished fourth in the 1988 Olympic tournament. He played all seven matches.

Coaching

[edit]

As coach, Renan worked mostly with clubs in Brazil, plus a season in Italy, all in the 1990s and 2000s.

In 2017, he was appointed as the new head coach of the Brazil men's team, replacing Bernardo Rezende who was in office during the last sixteen years.[2][3]

Renan was also disciplined by the FIVB when cameras clearly showed him intentionally rolling a ball on court mid rally. This was during an important 5th set in 2018 vs Russia. In his statement, he failed to apologize for the incident or admit fault.
