the interview
Omnia Basket Pavia, pending the formalization of the sponsor for next season, confirmed Fabio Di Bella also for next season. The former play-off of the national team and Virtus Bologna, who took over from Max Baldiraghi on Christmas Eve last year, led Pavia to the historic goal of the playoffs, giving in to Livorno and then moving on to the final series.
«I am very happy with the confirmation and the fact that this year I can start my work right from the construction of the roster – underlines Di Bella, 42 – it is a new part of my life. I joined Omnia at the end of December, skipping the start of the season. I am satisfied with the results obtained and which I think I have helped to achieve. I have enthusiasm and a lot of desire to start my second experience as head coach ».
Practically to rebuild the roster with only the captain Emanuele Rossi who is still under contract, as underlined by the specialized sites. First, however, the company should hold a press conference in which to announce the new composition of the company and the sponsors, whose first knot to be resolved is the bis agreement with Riso Scotti, which according to rumors should remain alongside Punto Edile. The company is moving into the market. “I have already presented my list of names for next season – explains Di Bella – I like that within the team everyone has their own task, everyone must be responsible for what belongs to him, so between me and the sporting director Lele Caserio, who operates on the market, the agreement is perfect ».
What kind of roster do you think about?
«We want to build a team with players who, regardless of the name, are useful for the cause. I am also personally inquiring about possible purchases. I am looking for players who are able to work thinking but with a smile. I must have enthusiasm and come to Pavia to improve myself ».
Once the budget has been defined, the first moves should concern the reconfirmation of the pivot winger Ferdinando Nasello and the director Andrea Piazza. Then it will be the turn of Torgano, then the young people.
«Those who were with us last season at the end of the year have re-evaluated – concludes Di Bella – thanks to them and to the club that put them in a position to work at their best. I like to work with the under and “underissimi”, the latter can grow by being in the team. The class of 2000, 2001 and 2002, must be protagonists ». –
