Peppe Poet he will be the new coach of Pallacanestro Brescia.
The Lombard club has announced the farewell of Alessandro Magro and Poeta’s arrival, although not yet made official, is now known. This was even confirmed by Christos Stavropoulos, general manager of Olimpia Milano, during the celebrations for the red and white Scudetto.
Poeta, therefore, arrives in Brescia as an Italian champion. And he does it with the blessing of Gianmarco Pozzeccohis head coach in the national team.
He will bring to Germani a very high level of knowledge and great analytical ability that I did not have immediately after quitting. I think he’s ahead of me, I didn’t have the knowledge he has at the moment. I really don’t think it’s a gamble for Brescia, former players don’t need a very long apprenticeship. I think Peppe is the right man at the right time, he has great enthusiasm, congratulations to Mauro Ferrari for a choice that was not easy but which I think is very right. Poeta had the opportunity to work closely with an expert and successful coach like Messina, he explored many issues in depth, being able to see how he works at certain levels and in such demanding seasons. Even in the national team he created a fantastic relationship with everyone. I had given him carte blanche, I told him to take all the days he wanted to rest and instead he arrived immediately. He gave up his vacation days to be alongside the Azzurri right away, this says a lot about his character and the desire he has.
Poeta signed a one-year contract with an option for the following season and on his staff, second BresciaOggiit should be there Davide Villa, coach responsible for the “Urania Milano miracle” in recent years. Very likely confirmation for Matteo Cotelli, former assistant to Magro. On the market we start from the control room: close Nikola Ivanovich, a 30-year-old Montenegrin already seen in Italy in Capo d’Orlando in 2016, last year in the VTB League. Also like it Nate Mason, fresh from the adventure in Denizli in Türkiye and also ended up in Scafati’s notebook. His name confirms the very probable departure of Semaj Christon, after that of CJ Massinburg who signed for Bahcesehir.
Furthermore, Brescia already has Amedeo Della Valle, Jason Burnell, Miro Bilan and Nikola Akele under contract for next season.
