On Sunday in Verona’s PalaOlimpia, on the bench of the Italian national team against Iran, there will also be Verona’s head coach Andrea Giani. The latter had been guiding a group of players in a camp in Cavalese from May 19 to 28, but he will be there on Sunday to give a hand to coach Mauro Berruto. Italy is coming off an excellent double registered against Brazil last weekend and a 3-0 win over Iran in Trieste (25-19, 25-22, 25-23).
“When I put on my shirt of the Italian national team, even as a component of the coaching staff, I always feel special emotions – said Giani – In Verona, the city that welcomed me and hosted me last year, ‘my’ city, it will be a great show. I like to think that bit by bit we’re building something big here is terms of sport”.
