After purchasing the right to remain in A1 from Casalmaggiore, the red and white club is mobilizing on the market to build a team that lives up to the fans’ expectations.
After purchasing the sports title of Casalmaggiore, which allowed it to remain among the fourteen Serie A1 teams despite the relegation that occurred on the field, It’s now transfer time for Cuneo Granda Volley. In recent days the red and white club announced that the captain Noemi Signorilehe will be the brains of the Gatte for the fifth consecutive season, while in the last few hours some rumors have emerged about the roster they want to build, to guarantee fans can enjoy high-level volleyball, unlike what was shown in the 2023-24 season.
Starting from technical guidethe rumors speak of a very probable farewell after a few months of coach Stefano Micoli, who, barring any surprises, would leave his place to Lorenzo Pintus, creator of an excellent return round with Casalmaggiore last season. For the Roman coach born in 1981 it would be the third experience in Serie A1 after last season at the helm of the Cremonese team and after the three years in which he led Busto Arsizio. Lots of news also regarding the squad that will be made available to the new coach. The role of freeholder should go into the hands of Sara Panetoni, born in Ravenna in 2000, returning from a good season at Vallefoglia and three other years as a protagonist in the top flight with Il Bisonte Firenze. Always from Vallefoglia Central player Agnese Cecconello should return to Cuneo, beloved by the fans and a great protagonist with the Gatte in the 2022-23 season. To complete the central department, the red and white club is aiming for a coup, trying to sign the Dutchman Tessa Poldera great protagonist last year with the Pinerolo shirt and the year before with that of Perugia.
Great maneuvers also regarding the crusher department, where as starters they will take, as always, an experienced athlete and a promising young player to explode in the red and white jersey. The first identikit should correspond to the Swede born in 1994 Alexandra Lazic, last year playing for Bisonte Firenze. The bet will almost certainly be the same Greek spiker born in 2000 Fay Bakodimou, fourth best scorer last year in the Greek championship with the Ilisiakos shirt. For the role of vice-lord, however, almost certainly the fans will be able to embrace the class of 2000 Alice Turco again, already reserve of the captain in the 2020-21 season and returning from three years as a protagonist in A2 with the San Giovanni in Marignano shirt. Although there are still many pieces missing, the Gatte roster for the 2024-25 season is slowly starting to take shape.
