Brazilian libero Serginho is leaving Sesi after 7 years to transfer to Superliga team Corinthians. 41-year-old Serginho has had an impressive career-to-date as he is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, a two-time FIVB World Championship gold medalist, and a seven-time FIVB World League gold medalist.

“As every story, this one also came to an end! I came today to thank Sesi for the beautiful history of partnership with me! Firstly, I thank the President for his trust and affection, to the doctors and to the directors! I also thank the club officials who contributed to the club’s high-level volleyball. I thank my teammates without whom I would not be who I am! I thank all the fans who came to our games. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Maybe we will meet again on the court as opponents. You can always count on me!” Serginho wrote in a post on Instagram.
