Umana Reyer is pleased to formalize the signing of the multi-year agreement with Maria Miccoli, coming from Passalacqua Ragusa. A 183 cm wing, Miccoli was born in Trieste on June 29, 1995. He grew up playing basketball at Ginnastica Triestina, making his debut in Serie B at just 15 years old and also reaching Serie A1 with the alabardata team in 2014. After his first season in the top division with Ginnastica Triestina, in 2015/16 he had his first experience away from home in Orvieto. In the following seasons he wore the jerseys of Lucca (2016/17), Ragusa (2017/18) and Vigarano (2018/20). In the summer of 2020 he returned to play in Lucca where he spent three consecutive seasons as a protagonist. In the last championship he defended the colors of Passalacqua Ragusa with 6.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists on average, playing in the Coppa Italia semifinal and the Scudetto semifinal against Schio.
His words: “Reyer represents a huge opportunity for me that I will try to make the most of. I am joining a very consolidated group and system, so it is a great challenge that I undertake with great enthusiasm. I already have adrenaline in my body because I am joining a great club, Campione d’Italia, where we work very well: I am very grateful to Reyer for this possibility. Of the current Orogranata roster I have only played together with Giuditta Nicolodi, but all the players I know and who they wore the Reyer shirt, they told me how well the Club works on all fronts.
From the outside you can see how healthy the Reyer group is, there is a great atmosphere that surrounds the team. So I will enter on tiptoe giving my best every day trying to be the best teammate possible. I am a person open to changes, I know I have many aspects to improve on, but I am ready to put myself on the line. I am an altruistic player, I do what is necessary for the team. I really want to become part of this group and I can’t wait to get started.”
