Adriano Di Pinto will took over Gianluca Graziosi on the Potenza Picena bench for the 2016-17 season. Born in 1977 in Milan, he was Molfetta’s assistant coach this season. This is a come-back home for Di Pinto who already coached Potenza when the club was in the B1 division between 2005 and 2007, as well as in 2010-11.
“I’ll meet up with many old friends in Potenza Picena – said the new head coach – And I’m back in a well-organised club with good values. I am proud and excited to continue what coach Graziosi has built. I remember I had launched the career of young players like Andrea Ippolito, who then came-back. And to be honest, it’s easy for somebody who spent time here to have the temptation to come back”.
