There Carpegna Ham Basket Pesaro announces that it has defined the two-year agreement with Eric Lombardi. 201 cm per 100 kg, he will be one of the wingers who will be part of the red and white roster for the 2024/2025 season.
Lombardi is enthusiastic about wearing the Pesaro jersey: “I am very happy for the trust of a prestigious club like VL in me. I am ready to give everything I have to repay this trust and a further incentive will be to work again with Coach Sacripanti who I know well and who has already trained me in Naples. I’m really excited for this intense year that awaits us and in which we will try to bring Pesaro back to where it deserves to be.”
Born in 1993, from 2009 to 2015 he wore the shirt of his city, Biella, making his debut in Serie A in 2011/2012. In the following season he was on loan to Brescia (LegaDue), then returned to Biella. In 2015/2016 he was a protagonist in Pistoia: he reached the quarter-finals of the playoffs and the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup. His experience in Tuscany ended in 2017 when he was called by Treviso at the end of the year. He remains there until 2019 and then returns to Biella again.
An important year awaits him in 2020/2021 in Naples: he wins promotion to the top division and also wins the Serie A2 Italian Cup, with an average of 24.4 minutes played, 10.3 points and 5.4 rebounds. In 2022/2023 he defends the colors of Treviglio in A2: he arrives in Pesaro after the last season which saw him busy in Serie A, in Brindisi.
Lombardi also boasts a gold medal won in 2013 in Estonia with the Under 20 national team. He is a player with high physicality and athleticism, capable of covering different roles and ensuring a notable rebounding presence.
