Livorno Not even time to enjoy the verdicts, since from Serie A1 to the national B the market is already in great turmoil.
Serie A1
In Tortona coach Walter De Raffaele, riding the Bertram since last December 26th, renewed his contract until June 30th 2027, sealing a second part of the season that was nothing short of extraordinary thanks to the playoff qualification and the almost scalp of Virtus Bologna, winner of the regular season.
Serie A2
The labronic pigment mainly concerns the coaches: Sandro Dell’Agnello, who took over as coach of Rinascita Rimini in November, joined the Romagna club for another two seasons, having reached the playoffs and convinced the club of president Paolo Maggioli. Coach Alessandro Ramagli’s Scaligera Verona, eliminated in the playoff semifinals by the Trapani Sharks, will continue their collaboration with the Livorno coach (two-year renewal). Coach Luca Bechi, after being linked to Urania Milano (where the now former Pielle, Marco Cardani, ended up), preferred continuity, prolonging the relationship with Juvi Cremona. In Trapani, promoted to A1, coach Andrea Diana boasts an agreement until 2025 with the Granata club and his stay in Sicily seems obvious, also and above all due to the great ambition of the owner Antonini. First assistant is Daniele Quilici, another true Livorno native.
Libertas chapter: in an interview given to Il Tirreno, president Roberto Consigli explicitly declared that he wanted to start again with coach Marco Andreazza, undoubtedly one of the secrets of an extraordinary season which culminated with the leap to A2. Regarding the roster, however, the situation is in its embryonic stage; the intention would be to retain some of the creators of the promotion, above all Tozzi, Allinei and Fantoni. But A2 is not Serie B and careful evaluations will have to be made.
Giacomo Dell’Agnello (30 years old) will still wear the Cividale shirt; the son of art, once again among the best Italians of the tournament, accepted the proposal of president Micalich, effectively becoming one of the club’s flagships. Lorenzo Benvenuti, winger/pivot of the Don Bosco team, first glimpse of the season in Cento, has just returned from the rupture of his anterior cruciate ligament but will be able to be drafted for September. Confirmation in the Romagna region remains to be assessed.
B National
Having made coach Federico Campanella official, Caffè Toscano Pielle Livorno is working to complete, first of all, the technical staff given the departure, in addition to coach Cardani, of the first assistant Michele Belletti towards Costone Siena. Giovanni Lenti (28) is unlikely to continue his experience at Gemini Mestre; the former Pielle pivot, used on and off by coach Ciocca, still remains a piece of absolute value for the category. Also ready to dive back into the fray is Matteo Graziani, a guard/winger from 2000 who will leave Pall on 30 June. Crema at the end of a season that was troubled to say the least due to injuries.
In Montecatini, Gema side, the renewal of coach Marco Del Re is official and at the same time work is underway to confirm a large part of a group capable of achieving 4th place in the regular season. Among these, however, there will not be Saverio Mazzantini, convinced by Omegna’s proposal. Chiarini, now former PL, is also liked. Fresh from salvation with Ozzano, Costantino Bechi (21 years old, former Libertas and Don Bosco) has entered the sights of several National B teams. Ivan Onojaife (21) also had a good season in the OraSì Ravenna jersey and is therefore destined to become the object of desire for numerous clubs.
