I also find Italy a beautiful country, with very hospitable and fun people, this is an added value for me».
Peric, who in the last two seasons played first in Greece (Olympiacos) and then in Turkey (Fenerbahce), will be available to coach Falasca from the first day of the Superlega, in the inaugural match on 22 October at the sports hall in via delle Province in Cisterna di Latina against the Italian champions from Trento.
