A confirmation and a new arrival that consolidate and strengthen an important department such as that of the scouts. After touring extensively between southern and northern Italy, Michele Caldarola stopped in Macerata and next will be his fourth season in red and white, “Macerata is home for me. I had alternatives but I didn’t think about it, we signed the agreement with DG Italo Vullo in two minutes. I am convinced that presenting ourselves with a tested and close-knit staff like ours is an important signal for the team, especially when it is renewed like this year”. How will the category change affect your homework? “With the arrival in Serie A2 the scoutman’s work intensifies, I could say that it doubles if not triples. There are many more details to pay attention to and given that this year I was entrusted with the bench of the Serie C team, the arrival of Andrea Stortoni will be even more useful, as he will provide important help: he will be present during the away games of Volley Banca Macerata and will help me observe game actions and study performances, so I can only enthusiastically welcome the addition of a valid colleague”.

The news is precisely the arrival of scoutman Andrea Stortoni on the staff: “I was born into volleyball in Macerata, in this very club, when it was still called Montalbano. I was very pleased with the call, it’s a homecoming.” After the experiences at Nova Volley Loreto in Serie B you will have to compete with Serie A2, “For me it is a big leap forward, I know that there will be a lot of work to do. I believe that focusing on the details will make the difference, even in studying the opponents which is always fundamental in preparing for a match. I will be lucky enough to work alongside an expert and competent scoutman like Michele Caldarola; I have a lot to learn from him and I can’t wait to start this new adventure.”
