After two days of absolute rest, Tonno Callipo Vibo on Monday returned to getting serious: the fifth week of work started again with a double session, the same today, while tomorrow afternoon, Wednesday 7 September, at PalaValentia (5 pm: 30), there will be the first joint seasonal training against Avimecc Modica.
This test-match will have to be useful for the formation chaired by the entrepreneur Pippo Callipo to establish a point in the preparation for the next men’s Serie A2 championship. The Sicilian team, which for the fourth consecutive year plays in the Blue group of the third national category, is coached by the reconfirmed Potentinian coach Giancarlo D’Amico, an old acquaintance of Vibonese volleyball having been the deputy of the Argentine coach Juan Manuel Cichello in the 2019-2020 tournament. , suspended in the middle of the second round due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The most representative player of the Sicilians and the Brazilian director with Portuguese passport Pedro Luiz Putini, who played in the Spanish A with the Ushuaia Ibiza shirt, in A2 with Synergy Mondovì and Wow Green House Aversa, where he had already played in 2016 -2017 and returned last season. Also noteworthy is the 4th place Stefano Chillemi, born in 1999, and the 22-year-old central Vibonese Francesco Saragò, in his second season with the Modica club after having done the whole process in the youth sector of the Callipo Vibo Tuna.
An appointment that the passionate Giallorossi fans will not miss to see the new sextet at work which, despite being packed with high training loads and obviously still looking for its own precise identity, promises to be very competitive.
The Giallorossi team led by Brazilian coach Cezar Douglas will later return to the field on Wednesday 14 September at Palasport Villa d’Agri, to face the same category of Cave del Sole Lagonegro in a friendly match (17:30), while on Friday 16 at PalaValentia it is scheduled the third test match against Farmitalia Saturnia Aci Castello, led by Waldo Kantor. The Argentine coach on the Vibonese bench undoubtedly left excellent memories in the 2016-2017 season, that of his return to the Super League, with the qualification for the Play Offs, as well as the passage to the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia after the victory in four partial with the Kioene Padova, always defeated three to zero by the super battleship Cucine Lube Civitanova, which then won both competitions, always overcoming the Diatec Trentino in the final act.
