JEFF Cariaso signed a three year deal to be the new head coach of Blackwater.
The 50-year-old mentor came to terms with the franchise on Thursday as team owner Dioceldo Sy formally welcomed him to the organization.

Both parties signed the contract in the presence Blackwater governor Siliman Sy, team manager Johnson Martinez and the rest of the team coaching staff led by Aris Dimaunahan.
Cariaso is expected to bring along with him deputies Joe Silva and former player Mike Cortez.
Earlier, Boris Aldeguer also joined the Blackwater coaching staff to take the place left by Pat Aquino, who will fully concentrate on his role as head coach and program director of the Gilas Pilipinas women's team.
Cariaso takes over the coaching rein vacated by Ariel Vanguardia.
Blackwater will be the fourth pro ballclub Cariaso will be handling after Ginebra, Alaska and Converge.
But a lot of work certainly awaits Cariaso as the Bossing are coming off another losing season that saw them fell short of making the playoffs of the last two conferences, including a 1-10 stint in the season-ending Governors Cup.
