Valerio Antonini’s Trapani Shark does not intend to stop after the triumph in Serie A2 and is now aiming even higher, with the aim of making the leap to the LBA. The arrival of the Sicilian club shakes up the market, with several negotiations already underway. Chris Horton and JD Notae will remain on the team, as will captain Marco Mollura. The confirmation of other Italian players is also probable, while on the front of new acquisitions the operations for Riccardo Rossato, who has just concluded a brilliant season in Serie A with Scafati, and Paul Biligha, who is leaving Dolomiti Energia Trentino, are almost completed. There was also an attempt for Stefano Tonut, whose contract with Olimpia Milano is expiring; according to Il Giornale di Sicilia, he is the big coup that the Sharks want to score for next season.
Antonini, speaking after the victory and promotion to Serie A, declared: «We must enjoy a year that will remain in the history of the city. We have reawakened a passion that had been dormant for too long. Now it’s time to celebrate and then plan a next season as protagonists in Serie A. Milan and Bologna have dominated for four years, but I believe the time has come for a team from the South to win the scudetto, so we will build a team to achieve this objective”.
