Padova announced it reached an agreement for the transfer of Michal Kubiak to the Polish side of Jastrzebski Wegiel, coached by Lorenzo Bernardi. “We are confident this is only the start of a great collaboration between the two clubs” said sport director Stefano Santuz. Meanwhile, the club extended the contract of Stefano Giannotti, who will be the back up outside hitter.

“The others should not take it personally but I think it should be the Padova of Javier Gonzalez – said the coach – I am convinced Javier could be having his best season yet in Italy. Meanwhile, Tiberti will have to be the team guy, the link in the changing room, the one that guides the newcomers”.
