TRIESTE – Michele Ruzzier still in red and white in the 2024-2025 season. The Trieste director had promised: “we will do everything to bring Trieste back where it deserves to be”, and he kept his word. He will be part of the roster entrusted to coach Jamion Christian in the next championship, the third consecutive with the jersey of his city “It is with immense pride and pleasure – commented the general manager of Pallacanestro Trieste Michael Arcieri – that we announce the return of Michele Ruzzier to our team for the 2024-25 season. There is nothing more authentic and exciting than seeing one of the favorite sons of Trieste basketball wear the red and white again to help his city pursue basketball excellence. Michele, with his elegant and measured style, full of pride and desire to win, has shown a brilliance on the court that has taken us to the top of Italian basketball. He has enriched his game with new facets and provided inspired leadership. We are thrilled that he continues to consider PalaTrieste his home”. Michele, who closed the season as MVP of the playoff final, played a fundamental role in the promotion of Pallacanestro Trieste to the top division. He averaged over 13 points and almost 6 assists per game this season, with a significant 37 percent from three points, also a symptom of a profound evolution of the player under the care of the American coach.
