Italy's volleyball club Trentino BetClic, led by Bulgarian Radostin Stoychev and including two Bulgarian players, claimed a second consecutive Men's Club World Championship crown after defeating Poland's PGE Skra Belchatow in the final in Doha.
The Italian side won in four sets (25-22, 25-19, 20-25, 25-15), rather than three as they had done last year.
The first two lacklustre sets were followed by a grand finale. It's the sixth title in ten years
Radostin Stoychev's team became the second in history to have won the world title twice, following the example of Misura Milano who did so back in 1990 and 1992, although Trentino's feat of back-to-back triumphs is unique in volleyball history.
Jan Stokr topped the final scoring chart with 18 points while Trentino's Cuban star, Osmany Juantorena, was voted MVP of the tournament.
