Phoenix parts ways with Topex Robinson; Jamike Jarin named as interim head coach

The Phoenix Super LPG Fuelmasters has parted ways with head coach Topex Robinson.

Robinson has been at the helm of the Fuelmasters since 2020 and has been with the team for five years.

"We thank coach Topex for his five years of service with Phoenix, and wish him the very best as he pursues other endeavors," Phoenix said in a statement on Thursday.

The team said assistant coach Jamike Jarin will take over as interim head coach in the upcoming Governors' Cup.

"Coach Jamike has been with the team since 2020 and has played a significant role in the team's building and development process," Phoenix said.

Under Robinson, the Fuelmasters reached the semifinals during the 2020 Philippine Cup. They also reached the quarters in the 2021-22 Governors' Cup and in the recent Commissioner's Cup.
