Tommy Marino closes. Tommy Marino opens.
If the 2023-2024 season of Legnano Basketball had ended with Marino’s touching farewell to the parquet on the occasion of the home match against Libertas Livorno, the 2024-2025 season opens instead, and again, in the name of the Sienese playmaker who, during a crowded press conference, was officially presented in the new role of “Team Ambassadors” which he will play for the Legnano club.
Marino, in fact, literally stole the show by imposing himself (but it’s nothing new…) as the new man in the Knights’ organization chart: “I’m really happy to announce that Tommy Marino – explains the president of Legnano Tajana -, officially joins the Knights family and will play the role of “Team Ambassador” of our club. In this sense, I am really proud to point out that our company, always one step ahead, for this task has chosen none other than the man who today, in Italy’s basketball world, is unquestionably the “King” of media personalities. In fact, Marino represents a point of reference for hundreds of thousands of basketball fans, and we at Legnano Basket intend to make use of his presence to give a further boost to our presence in the area. A presence which, we are proud of, is already very strong because Legnano Basket, thanks to the recent collaboration agreement signed with Basket Carroccio, is widespread throughout the city and is now moving in impressive numbers. Between the men’s and women’s sectors there are 900 athletes who belong to the Knights world and, net of parents, relatives and friends who are involved in some way, we are talking about around 5000 people. Numbers which are also confirmed by the average attendance at PalaBorsani, over 1300, which reaches peaks of 2000-2500 during the most important and heartfelt matches. Numbers which, thanks to a truly attractive and fascinating figure like Tommy, we hope to increase in all the ways and all the areas in which he will move.”
Here he is, therefore, the new man of the Knights clan and here are his first words: “First of all – the former red and white playmaker begins with a captivating smile -, I would like to say that I am truly honored to be part of an important project like the one proposed to me by Tajana and Basilico with whom, over the course of three years as beautiful as they are intense, I have formed a bond that I consider absolutely special. So I thank Marco and Bizio for the opportunity they have offered me and I can assure you that I will make all my qualities as a communicator available to Legnano Basket to make the club’s visibility even more important. In this regard, I add that I will already have an advantage as I am aware of being able to exploit a “brand”, that of the “Knights”, which has identified the club for many years and places it in a restricted circle because even in Serie A there are very few clubs that can boast such a strong “logo”. Then, another reason for great satisfaction is linked to the fact that I will be working alongside Max Giudici, a high level professional who has been a master in communication for many years and, as everyone knows, has been able to make every match or event special. organized by Legnano Basket. Together, in the first instance, we will address our large internal audience, that is, the girls and boys in our youth sector and their families and, subsequently, the traders, entrepreneurs and companies in a new and hopefully successful way”.
