It’s been a record 2016 for Reggio Emilia marked by the playoff semi-finals. And this year, the team is looking like having what it takes to repeat the good things seen last season. Owner Azzio Santini said : « We went beyond our real potential. What I’d like for 2017 is more people coming to the games. Even if the game times chosen by the Lega do not help. Coach Dall’Olio is the absolute best we could have hoped for, we never had one like him before ».
