Change on the bench for Pool Libertas Cantù. But this time it’s not a new face. The Coach designated to take up the legacy of Francesco Denora Caporusso is Alessandro Mattiroli, born in 1984, and former athletic trainer of President Ambrogio Molteni’s team. Since 2012, the year in which he left the Cantù club, the former Yaka Volley coach has pursued in parallel his career as an athletic trainer (the icing on the cake was his participation in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics with the Senior Women’s National Team) and that of Head Coach (best result: promotion to Serie A3 Credem Banca, a category which Yaka Volley was then forced to renounce). Now a new adventure begins for him in Serie A2 Credem Banca, which he faces with enthusiasm and the desire to do well.
“Alessandro Mattiroli is an old acquaintance of Libertas – says President Ambrogio Molteni – having been our athletic trainer for three years in Serie B1 first and for a year in our first Serie A2 championship in the 2011/2012 season then. After this experience he has built a top-notch CV, including participation in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics as coach of the Women’s National Team. Furthermore, and I think it is a unique case in Italy, he is the Coach who brought a group of young people from the Yaka area of Malnate to Serie A3 Credem Banca, and this makes him one of the most interesting young coaches in the volleyball panorama of our country. province. He had already been requested by me a few years ago without success, and now he has accepted my proposal to coach the team that we are going to build with him. For him it is a new challenge, which I immediately understood that he will face with great enthusiasm and desire to get involved. The stage of the Serie A2 Credem Banca is certainly very attractive, and I am convinced that it will do very well. With this choice I wanted, as already done in the past for example with Max Della Rosa, to enhance the excellence of our territory, which sees us face our thirteenth next season after 12 years of Serie A2. Good luck Alessandro for this new adventure!”.
“Well yes, I’m going back to Cantù – says the new Cantù Coach –, but this time as a coach. I am very happy to have had this opportunity, and I decided to accept the challenge because I wanted to change my horizons. I was an athletic trainer for many years, but in parallel I was carrying on my career as a coach with Yaka Volley, with whom we indeed won the A3 Series, but which unfortunately we were forced to give up only due to bureaucratic quibbles.
