Montanini and Monteverdi with Raho

WiMORE Salsomaggiore announces the arrivals of Gigi Montanini and Giovanni Monteverdi who will respectively cover the roles of second and third coach in the staff of coach Alberto Raho who will lead the team in the Serie A3 Credem Banca national championship. Two important presences that complete a pool of totally “made in Parma” technicians, confirming the solid spirit of identity and sense of belonging to the territory that the Gialloblù club wanted to give in its second season in the category. Montanini, born in Parma in 1963, boasts a long experience on the bench between Noceto, Alga, both led by D to C, Collecchio, Campegine and, last year, Pallavolo Parma in the men’s sector, Aurora and again Noceto in the women’s sector. “It’s a sensational goal -confesses the new second coach of WiMORE Salsomaggiore- because those who coach with passion always hope to one day reach the highest possible level. Mine wants to be a figure that I have forced myself to want and be able to do which is to combine the technical part that Alberto (Raho) will follow with the motivational and psychological part trying to lend a hand to the boys on and off the pitch. In a roster, above all, young like ours, a connecting figure is needed who is there during training and in the game. The goal is the growth of each of them, only in this way we could also improve as a team “. A lot of pride but also the responsibility of representing a historic place in Serie A. “We have an enormous volleyball tradition and we must maintain it at all costs. In the meantime, even young people who may not know the history of Parma in the world of volleyball must try to understand what Parma was, what Parma is now in order to then make tomorrow the Parma it will be”. The third coach Monteverdi, born in 1989, national vice-champion of sitting volleyball among the ranks of Polisportiva Gioco Parma, played as a free-spiker with Pgs Lauda, ​​Energy, Polisportiva Il Cerchio Soragna between Serie D and Prima Divisione, and was already alongside Alberto Raho in the Energy youth team, including the men’s Under 14 team who qualified for the Regional Final Four. “It will certainly be very exciting, I don’t hide that when I received the phone call from Alessandro (Grossi) and Alberto (Raho), in reality, I didn’t expect them to offer me to become part of the project. It didn’t take much to accept, I’ve been figuring out how to best approach this new role for a couple of weeks: I asked Alberto for strong support, I know it’s important for him, for Parma and therefore also for me.
