Following the much awaited announcement that the club would register for the coming Serie A1, the Italian Cup winner can now reveal its first signing of the summer: Miguel Tavares Rodrigues. The promising youngster born in 93 in Portugal signed a three-year deal. He is currently involved in the World League playing alongside Ferreira (at Trento last season) and Flavio Cruz Goncalves (Piacenza in 2006-07). Rodrigues won the Portuguese league last season with Benfica as well as the Super Cup.

“I am happy and excited to have this opportunity at Piacenza – said Rodrigues – I have to thank Piacenza and its managerial staff for giving me the chance to take part in such an important project. I can’t wait to get started. This will be a great opportunity to get better and an honour to work alongside stars like Zlatanov, Papi and Tencati”.
