10-year collegiate and club volleyball coach veteran, Russell Corbelli, was added to the Tigers coaching staff on Jan. 28, 2020.
In his first season with Mizzou, Corbelli helped steer the Tigers to their sixth-straight NCAA Tournament appearance and advance to the second round for a seventh consecutive trip.
Corbelli spent the 2018-19 campaigns as a volunteer assistant coach at Stanford University. As the program's lead scout in opponent attacking, serving and passing; Corbelli played a pivotal role into the Cardinals' back to back NCAA National Championships.
"We're so excited to welcome Russell and his wife Sally to Columbia and the Mizzou Athletics family," said Taylor. "Russell is an elite coach and was instrumental in the success at Stanford the past two seasons. He works hard, has an incredibly high volleyball IQ and is a phenomenal person. Russell sees where we are trying to take Mizzou Volleyball and is completely bought in to continuing the program's success. We're lucky to have him!"
In two years on the Stanford coaching staff, Corbelli oversaw 11 AVCA All-Americans, 11 AVCA Pacific North All-Region honorees and 12 All-Pac 12 recipients. The Cardinal also claimed consecutive Pac-12 Conference titles, including an unscathed 20-0 league record in 2018.
"I'm so thrilled to be joining the Tiger Volleyball family," said Corbelli. "Joshua and Molly have done an outstanding job in their time with the program and I can't wait to help continue and build on the success they've had. I can't thank them and the Mizzou administration enough for welcoming me to Mizzou!"
Prior to his highly successful two-year run at Stanford, Corbelli served as a volunteer assistant coach for Texas A&M University in 2016. Russell is the son of longtime former Texas A&M Volleyball head coach Laurie Corbelli and former Aggie assistant coach, John.
Corbelli has led duties for numerous premier volleyball organizations, including the Aggie Elite Volleyball Club (2016-18) and Texas A&M Men's Volleyball Club (2016-17). The College Station, Texas, native competed with the Texas A&M men's club team (2015-16) and was twice named the SIVA Conference MVP.
Corbelli graduated from Texas A&M University in 2016 with a degree in agricultural economics with an emphasis in finance and real estate.
