    MIGHTY Sports is bringing in Rajko Toroman as an assistant coach when it competes in the Jones Cup set to be held in Chinese Taipei from July 12 to 21.

    Mighty assistant team manager Jessie Angchonghoo said head coach Charles Tiu has tapped Toroman to help him out in the team’s bid to reclaim the Jones Cup crown.

    Tiu worked with Toroman during the veteran Serbian coach’s stint with the original Gilas Pilipinas squad.

    “I think that’s the main key there,” said Angchonghoo during Tuesday’s Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum at Amelie Hotel Manila. “During coach Toroman’s stint with Gilas, one of his staff is coach Charles.

    "Meron silang close relationship. Right now, coach Charles is talking to coach Rajko to help him because he is a very experienced international coach.”

      Angchonghoo said Toroman will be a valuable addition to the team.

      “Very, very helpful si coach Toroman. As I said, ‘yung experience niya sa international competition, matagal na. Talagang dito sa practice namin, I’m sure marami siyang mase-share sa team. He will help the team to get our goals na mag-champion kami for this coming Jones Cup,” said Angchonghoo during the forum supported by San Miguel Corporation, Braska Restaurant, Amelie Hotel, and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR).

      Former PBA imports Renaldo Balkman and Eugene Phelps, and Zachary Graham will reinforce the Mighty Sports squad which will be looking to replicate its 2016 title romp.

      Jason Brickman, Gab Banal, and Aaron Black are also part of the Mighty Sports team.
