BOXING superstar Manny Pacquiao was officially named as team manager of the Letran Knights in the NCAA.
According to a report on Inquirer.net, Letran’s representative to the management committee, Fr. Vic Calvo, confirmed the deal was finalized on Wednesday evening for the eight-division world champion to support the team’s campaign.
The writing was already on the wall for this development as new Letran head coach Aldin Ayo is currently Pacquiao’s assistant coach on the PBA squad, Kia.
The Knights also competed under the banner of MP Hotel in the PBA D-League.
