Trillo, Vucinic take rein at Meralco

MANILA, Philippines — A new era has dawned for Meralco in the PBA with the appointment of Luigi Trillo as the Bolts’ head coach.

The Bolts promoted the long-time assistant in an announcement yesterday, taking the place of Norman Black, who’s now the designated team consultant.

In the same coaching rigodon, Meralco named Serbian-Kiwi mentor Nenad Vucinic as active consultant.

Meanwhile, Converge acquired Mike Nieto from Rain or Shine in exchange for two second-round picks in 2024 and 2025 for yet another offseason move.

The FiberXers last month traded Abu Tratter and David Murrell to Magnolia for Adrian Wong and this year’s first-round pick.
