Lucano, born in the pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea – Maratea – 29 years ago, but truly Lagonegrese, in his blood and heart. Nicola Fortunato is the player who represents in the best way the concept of belonging to a territory, to its team and its colours. Nicola has the red and white shirt attached to his body, he wore it with pride during the magical climb from B2 to A2. And after much wandering (Sabaudia, Palmi, Aversa) to accumulate experience, last season he returned home to defend Rinascita, his city’s club, from his position as libero. Where he will remain this year too, for a confirmation that the Company never questioned during the 2024/2025 planning phase. The current leader of the group, Nicola missed only one match during the season just ended, the away defeat in Fano on 19 November, a tangible sign of the immense trust that coach Lorizio places in him. A few weeks after the start of preparation, Nicola is already excited and ready to make himself available to the coach: “I am very happy to continue my journey with Rinascita. Together with the Club, whom I thank for their trust, we have set important objectives that we will try to catch up. I can’t wait to get started and make our fans happy.”
