Former coach of Peru's volleyball team Man Bok Park has passed away, Olympic medalist Cenaida Uribe informed Thursday.

The Peruvian Volleyball Federation hired the South Korean Seoul-born Park in 1974.

During his time as coach, the volleyball squad won several titles and medals, such as the silver medal at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.
