You don’t change a winning coach. After an applause promotion, the marriage between coach Dore Della Lunga and The Begin Volley Ancona could only continue. Both will be protagonists in the next A3 championship after the promotion of the Dorians in the men’s B playoff play-off won in Sassuolo. “Ancona starts again from its most important certainty” they say from the red and white management.
Coach Dore Della Lunga was therefore reconfirmed. President Guido Guidi’s club wastes no time locking down the promotion coach, an indispensable point of reference for the Doric association. “I will be part of this project again next year – confirms coach Della Lunga -. The promotion to Serie A3 was very nice and absolutely not to be taken for granted, I would like to underline this aspect. Sometimes it takes years to achieve it, but we we achieved the objective in the first year in which we were put in the position to do so. A page of history was written, which is not at all easy to replicate.”
Now the new adventure. “The A3 series is totally new for me, I have never coached or played in this category. It will be a new experience. A difficult season, also considering that the Serie B playoffs certainly took away a few days from us to operate on the market.” So it’s an uphill challenge. “The season will be complicated, we will have to live it Sunday after Sunday, without ever looking beyond the next training session and the next match – Dore Della Lunga’s philosophy -. It is the only way we have to maintain the category. We are well aware that it will be a good opportunity for everyone, deservedly earned on the pitch. We will have to exploit every minute in the gym, with even more intensity and hunger. We will need a lot of resilience to survive. The championship will be the same as this year’s, but with opposite objectives , we will fight not to be among the least good. It is essential to immediately accept it from a mental point of view so as to enter this new dimension and express ourselves to the fullest.”
From the bench to the field. Greetings, among the players, Mario Ferraro, whose experience was decisive for the jump in category. Now, after having put the coach in place, other changes are expected for the roster.
