Experience and reliability in the control room, as well as a lot of personality and determination: Carpegna Prosciutto Basket Pesaro announces that it has defined a two-year agreement with Matteo Imbro. Born in 1994, 192 cm and 86 kg, he arrives in Pesaro fresh from promotion to Serie A just achieved in Trapani after the one achieved in the past with Treviso. A playmaker of tall stature and key player in decisive moments, gifted with an excellent shot from outside, he knows how to manage the team well with the right rhythm. Thanks to these characteristics he can also support a point guard in the guard role.
These are the first statements from Matteo, the new red and white player: “I am very happy to wear the VL jersey for the next two seasons since Pesaro is a place with a great passion for basketball. So far I have played there as an opponent and I remember very well the great warmth of the fans who are present in thousands at the Vitrifrigo Arena. Without a doubt, the presence of coach Pino Sacripanti was also very important, he wanted me at all costs: I will try to help Pesaro get back where it deserves to be”.
Imbrò’s career began in 2009 with the Virtus Siena shirt: he then joined Fortitudo and Virtus Bologna with whom he played all the matches of the Serie A championship in 2012/2013. He remained with the Bianconeri until 2015 when he moved to Ferentino in Serie A2 and then in Treviso. He wore the Venetian jersey from 2017 to 2022, winning the A2 Italian Cup and promotion to the top division in 2018/2019. After a brief period in Verona, in 2022 during the current season he signed with Scafati, again in Serie A: he concluded the year by playing the A2 playoffs with the shirt of his city, Agrigento. In 2023/2024 he is one of the great protagonists of Trapani’s promotion to the top flight: he averages 24.5 minutes, 9.75 points and 3.5 assists. In the decisive match – at the PalaDozza against Fortitudo Bologna – he made the triple from nine meters which ensured Trapani promotion to Serie A.
In 2013 in Tallinn (Estonia) he won the gold medal at the Under 20 European Championships with the national team coached by Coach Sacripanti and with teammate the new red and white Eric Lombardi.
