“No, this is not a return. The reality is that I never left Da Rold Logistics Belluno ». Coach Gian Luca Colussi officially presents himself in a new role: from expert setter in two seasons in Serie B to technician of the first team in A3. In between, a promotion won on the parquet – in C – by the Cordenons technical guide. «But, in the last year, I have followed all the matches of the DRL and I have always been in contact with a club made up of competent people, who have ambition and passion. A society of men with important values. Targets? Talking about it now is premature, even if you know me by now: I like to set the bar high. ”
BACKSCENE – The new coach reveals a tasty background: «When did I get the call with the club’s proposal? I did not fall from the clouds, on the contrary, I expected it. And I am happy to have received it. I’ve already heard from all the guys: they are full and can’t wait to get started. The relationship from teammate to coach changes, but it will not be a problem: we are talking about intelligent athletes, who like to work in the gym ».
CARISMA – Colussi was presented at the headquarters of the Da Rold Logistics company, where the manager Stefano Da Rold thought the honors: “We focused on Gian Luca because he has enthusiasm, charisma and knows the environment. In addition – she smiles – being a “freshman” in A3, she will commit to 200 percent. It embodies the characteristics of the great coach ».
MAXIMUM CONVICTION – On the same line of thought, the general manager, Franco Da Re: «We are very convinced of this choice. Colussi will be able to transfer winning character and mentality to the group. We thought from the first moment that he could be the right person: with Gian Luca there is the maximum sharing in terms of objectives “. In the meantime, the company is becoming more and more structured: «And an external help of fundamental importance comes from a sportsman like Renzo Savasta, to whom we should deeply thank».
MERITOCRACY – The last line is from Colussi: “Volleyball is the most meritocratic sport that exists. The team wins, never the single. And the team is not only the one made up of the players, but also that of the staff: from the athletic trainer Sergio Sartori, to the physiotherapist Luca Gallina, passing through the doctor Marco Sommavilla, up to Francesco Gasperin, Riccardo Zanolli and Lorenzo Bianchet. I couldn’t have wished for a better working group ».
