Trento brought back home Tsvetan Sokolov after a year on loan at Cuneo. “he will be a crucial player in the squad” said Roberto Serniotti about the Bulgarian outside hitter, who is considered to be one of the absolute best players around at his position and could stay so for many years to come as he is still young (born 1989). Trento had noticed him when he was just 19 years of age at Dupnitsa, and while he was a back-up in his first three seasons (of Vissotto, and Stokr), he will now play his first season as a starter. He will get his shirt 11 back, with which he had already scored 627 points in 125 games, helping the club win three World Club Championships, two Champions League, one league title, two Italian Cups and one Super Cup.
