"I would like to announce that the next UPMBT Head Coach is Goldwyn [sic] Monteverde," said UP Diliman Chancellor Fidel Nemenzo in his announcement.
"Morever, we take this opportunity to also announce the appointment of previous head coach Bo Perasol as UPMBT Program Director," he continued.
The idea of Perasol moving up to take a front office role in the program was floated when he announced his resignation.
Monteverde's move to UP comes as his supposed wards in NU like Gerry Abadiano, Carl Tamayo and Terrence Fortea, have all also gone to play for the Fighting Maroons.
