From the shirt and shorts to the jacket and shirt. Filippo Vedovotto remains at Delta Group Porto Viro but changes his role, and this time not on the pitch: he is the new Sporting Director of the nerofucsia club, the successor of Massimo Zambonin, who will no longer work with the First Team but will keep the position of Manager of the Youth Sector and school-related projects.
Vedovotto, from Jesolo, still 33 years old and with an enviable career as a volleyball player behind him (two promotions in the SuperLega and four Italian A2 Cups on the bulletin board), is at his first managerial experience and will be one of the youngest (if not the youngest) DS of the Serie A2 Credem Banca championship.
From his, great motivation and the advantage of knowing the Porto Viro environment well: “Surely the fact of having played here for two years gives me a lot of confidence and security – he comments – I really want to thank the club for having offered me this professional opportunity, the idea was born a few months ago, with a view to restructuring the club. DG Pavan and President Veronese have identified in me the right characteristics to fill the role of Sporting Director and together we have decided to embark on this new, very stimulating and important path for our future”.
Although fresh from his official investiture, Vedovotto is already fully operational and is charting the course for the next few months: “The goal is to try to grow all together and lay the foundations for a solid future project. Personally I am at the beginning of a new journey, I will try to do my best to help achieve the goals we have set ourselves and act as a glue between the team, the technical staff and the club. We are coming from a great season, we will try to repeat ourselves and if possible do even better. The market? The negotiations are well underway, we are trying to keep last year’s group as much as possible, which did excellent things, adding some quality additions”.
And if the nostalgia of the field were to knock on the door of the new DS from the Delta Group? “Of course, it won’t be easy to change roles after all these years of playing volleyball, but I’m sure and convinced of my choice. The energies and stimuli that I am experiencing these days will lead me to be serene in this new page of my life”, replies Vedovotto, who in closing makes an appointment with the nerofuchsia supporters: “I also want to say hello to our fans, the Dragons of the Delta. Even if I will no longer have the uniform and shorts but the jacket and shirt, I can’t wait to meet you again in the arena”.
