Farm Fresh Foxies have taken a bold step ahead of the 2025 Premier Volleyball League season by appointing veteran coach Alessandro Lodi as their new head coach. Lodi, whose coaching career spans Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, brings international pedigree to a squad still finding its footing in the league.
He replaces interim coach Benson Bocboc, who led the Foxies to a 10th-place finish in the 2024 All-Filipino Conference. Now, with a full coaching staff overhaul and Strong Group Athletics backing the project, Farm Fresh eyes a breakthrough campaign.

Buzzichelli to Lead Conditioning Across All SGA Teams
Joining Lodi is Italian strength and conditioning expert Carlo Buzzichelli, who will oversee the physical development of all volleyball programs under Strong Group Athletics. His role includes working with the Foxies as well as sister squads like ZUS Coffee, ensuring a unified and modern fitness approach.
Farm Fresh team manager Kiara Cruz expressed optimism with the revamped setup, noting the progress seen under volleyball consultant Coach Fabio Menta. “With Coaches Alessandro and Carlo on board, we’re not just maintaining momentum—we’re becoming stronger,” Cruz said.
The Farm Fresh Foxies are now retooling for a competitive run in the 2025 PVL season, determined to rise from the league’s lower ranks and stake their claim among the league’s elite.
