Greece, Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Holland, Romania. And now the Italian championship again: the “around the world” of Giovanni Caprara, 61 years old, he stopped in Busto Arsizio from where the Bolognese coach will reconnect the threads with the A1 series feminine by accepting the challenge launched by UYBA Volleyball for next season.
Caprara, who signed in recent days, confirming rumors that have already been circulating for some time, is one of the most successful Italian technicians. He has it on the board a world gold (in 2006 with Russia), four Champions (three with Bergamo, one with Eczacibasi), five championships (one revoked, in Reggio Calabria) and a series of other trophies and medals that would make you pale in comparison.
His presence is fundamental in construction of a team that will have the objective of keep away from the safety zone (this year the Butterflies took a few too many risks) with the hope to get to play in the playoffs. Now, after a series of confirmations on the “Italian fleet”, Uyba has announced the first seasonal purchase, that of Josephine Obossa.
There 24 years old opposite born in Naples, 1.83 m tall, comes from Casalmaggiore and already has solid experience in A1 tra Modena and Monzawith which he also won the Cev Cup in 2021. Obossa was therefore the protagonist in A2 first at Talmassons (when was it best scorer of the championship) and then to Brescia: two years (’22 and ’23) which were the springboard for the return to A1 at Trasportipesanti.
Nello chessboards red and white, Obossa finds another player in his role, the Giorgia Frosini confirmed effectively closing the market in that position. Caprara already has a group in hand that includes two power plants, Benedetta Sartori and Giuditta Lualdithe spiker Rebecca Piva and the setter Jennifer Boldini, perhaps the most valuable piece among those who remained at the E-Work Arena from last season.
In the role of free we talk about young Federica Pelloni cwho will have to replace Giorgia Zannoni, who in the meantime has flown to Rome. Waiting for signatures on the foreign market with the Belgian power plant Silke Van Avermaet (last year in France, at Mulhouse) among the hot names.
