A third place in the championship confirms participation in the next Champions League and an Italian Cup on the board. After a profound revolution, AN Brescia’s season was decidedly positive, culminating with the victory in the final for third place against Ortigia. The small bitterness of having given up second place to Savona, behind the battleship Pro Recco, is mitigated by the trophy won, which returns to the club after two seasons below expectations. Not to be forgotten is the confirmation among the top eight teams in Europe, a prestigious result which testifies to the solidity of the project.
Andrea Malchiodi remains the president of the club, while Sandro Bovo continues to manage the team from the bench. However, in the water the revolution continues. Goalkeeper Petar Tesanovic, who inherited the role from Marco Del Lungo, has proven to be perhaps the best number one in the world, but will leave Brescia. Djordje Lazic will also leave together with him, the center forward who, despite being one of the few survivors of the post-Covid Scudetto, was unable to maintain himself at high levels and will probably return to his homeland. Even Vincenzo Renzuto, whose goals three seasons ago were decisive in the historic final against Pro Recco, has not been able to confirm himself and his adventure in Brescia seems destined to end. The situation of Edo Manzi is different, whose stay lasted only one year, proving to be one of the club’s unsuccessful bets.
On the renewal front, the club has decided to confirm Vincenzo Dolce, a pillar of the defense, with a new two-year contract. The same goes for Tommaso Gianazza, who, promoted to the first team two years ago by Bovo and with the support of coach Sandro Campagna, is preparing to experience the season of his consecration.
New arrivals chapter: Brescia has already reached an agreement with Filippo Ferrero, a forward born in 2002 from Ortigia. The player, already in the national teams, is considered one of the most promising young players in Italian water polo, having made his debut in Serie A1 at just 17 years old. In the season just ended he scored 19 goals for the Sicilians.
Looking to the future, the AN is preparing to face new challenges with a renewed and ambitious team. The management and technical staff are committed to building a competitive team that can continue to fight for the top both at national and European level. With a solid base and new talent on the way, AN Brescia’s future still looks bright.
