In just about a week or so, it will already be time to focus on the coming season as the Champions League draw will take place in Vienna.

“The draw had been very severe with us last year – said coach Alberto Giuliani – We were given the privilege to face two very strong Russian sides, Kazan and Novosibirsk, right from the start. Hopefully, we’ll have a kinder fate this time around. The level will be extremely high once again, the Russian and Polish teams are really strong, and top teams will come from Turkey too, like Ankara for example. The main European competition is getting more and more competitive but we’ll try to go as far as we can”.
