It’s a birthday that Andrea Cinciarini will not forget, this 38th. Because just yesterday, in the late afternoon he decided to leave Vuelle: the player from Pesaro communicated it through his agency, Virginio Bernardi’s Sportlab Network, which published a photo with the writing in large letters “Thank you Pesaro” and underneath ” Ready for a new adventure.” In the few lines of comment accompanying the image of him we still read “Cincia thanks Victoria Libertas Pesaro infinitely and is ready to embark on a new chapter in his fantastic career”. Sibylline words, which leave the door open to an immediate move to the bench to start being a coach, which is his goal once he hangs up his boots. But if a proposal came from Serie A it could delay the withdrawal. A bitter ending for the fans and perhaps a little for him too, who waited a lifetime to wear the shirt he grew up with again but the story of this romantic ‘reunion’ ended with a painful relegation.
Vuelle is looking ahead, will most likely hire an American point guard and in the meantime formalizes the biennial signing of Eric Lombardi. “I am very happy for the trust of a prestigious club like Vuelle 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 helped me already trained 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.”
The new signing commented thus on his official arrival in the red and white. The presence of Pino on the bench had a significant impact on his choice, because with him he experienced the first great joy of his career, the gold at the 2013 European Championships with the U20 national team. A lucky combination, given that then, when they found themselves in Naples in the 20/21 season, they brought home the A2 Italian Cup and promotion to Serie A. Lombardi was a protagonist, playing an average of 24.4′ with 10.3 points and 5.4 rebounds . Brindisi, where he played (little) last year didn’t want to deprive himself of it, it was Lombardi who got out of the contract by paying out of his own pocket just to come to Pesaro. A detail that goes in the direction requested by president Valli of wanting convinced people on the roster who will have to attempt to rise again. Simone Zanotti should also be part of this team, with whom yesterday there was a significant step forward in the negotiations: Sacripanti is closing the long-term package but the Vildera objective seems directed at Brindisi which he has relaunched. While the rumor about Ale Gentile has opened the debate among the fans.
