The president of FIP thanks Poz: “I thank him for creating a cohesive group in recent years and with the pleasure of being together”
It is not a surprise separation, that between Gianmarco Pozzecco and the Italbasket. With the contract expiring, for the now former technical commissioner, the hopes of renewal would have been possible (possible, not obvious) only in the case of conquering a row medal. In short, we say that for some time in via Vitarchiano it was working and working on its replacement. Few turns of words: the technician identified for months is Luca Banchi, sixty years old who has just finished his experience at the helm of Latvia. A name warm above all by his friend Massimo Faraoni, secretary general of the National Basketball League and president of the FIP Tuscany but above all one of the men closest to the great head of the FIP Gianni Petrucci. Banchi would have already encountered for an exchange of ideas Gigi Datome, coordinator of the activities of the National Male teams sector and a man indicated by Petrucci for the choice of Pozzecco’s successor. “I learned that Gianmarco said that this was his last game in the national team. I will talk to him. I thank him for having created a cohesive group in recent years and with the pleasure of being together – the words of the Federal President Petrucci -. For the choices on the future I will compare myself with Gigi Datome and Salvatore Trainotti, who have the responsibility of the sector of male national teams. This European: the future is certainly on our side and also testify to the extraordinary results that all our national teams have obtained incredible in this summer.

The choice of benches would certainly be of common sense: appreciated technician, with enormous international experience, capable of navigating in every sea, would have a more than discreet material to be able to truly build a talented team, with large margins of improvement, which would aim for the qualification of the games 2028. Single candidate? Nì, in the sense that the surprise could come from the name that at the end would agree everyone (not that there are divisions with benches): Sergio Scariolo. Very complex undertaking, also because the commitments with Real Madrid are very pressing and would create problems during the national windows. In short, few possibilities (leaving out the economic aspect), but a hypothesis not to be discarded a priori.
