He plays for the Serbian national team with which he is preparing the VNL and with which he has won two European championships and a World League. He was also one of the pillars of the youth teams of the Serbian national team.
“I am very happy – underlined Uros Kovacevic – to be able to return to play in Italy. And even happier to come to Gas Sales Bluenergy, a huge company that in just a few years has made itself known and established itself not only in Italy. When the call from Piacenza came it didn’t take me long to say yes, I know the Italian championship and I know how difficult but also how beautiful it is to be able to play in it. I have arrived in a strong team that will be able to have its say, my commitment will be maximum so that the club’s objectives can be achieved, I can’t wait to start this new adventure of mine and get to know the Piacenza public.”
“He is a player strongly wanted by us – underlined coach Andrea Anastasi – because he is a very talented boy, who has reached a level of maturity and experience that will certainly be able to help our team remain at the top of the table. I’m happy that he’s with us next season, we’re all very confident that he can give us a hand also with his characterful approach which until now has never been lacking wherever he’s played.”
