Today the official announcement after Pozzecco’s farewell. He also leaves Deputy Casalone. The unknown Spissu still to be solved
SASSARI. Unless there are sensational twists – neither expected nor expected – today the second era of Demis Cavina at the helm of Dinamo will officially begin. And it is certain that the first official news on the market will arrive with the new technician, including new entries, precious reconfirmations and possible surprises.
In a press release released yesterday morning, Reale Mutua Basket Torino thanked “in a deep and heartfelt way Demis Cavina who in these two years led the newborn Turin association”, acknowledging the Emilian coach for having contributed immediately to the growth of the new project making it ambitious from birth. «These two seasons will remain in the history of Basket Torino and the best wishes go to the coach for the continuation of his career».
Demis Cavina, protagonist of the beautiful ride of Turin in the A2 series closed with a last-gasp defeat in the final match 5 against Tortona, is preparing to succeed Gianmarco Pozzecco in the white-blue coaches register. It will be announced this morning at a press conference, and it is a return since he himself, in the two years preceding the island landing of Meo Sacchetti, had brought the Banco to the threshold of the Olympus of Lega A. Sassari is ready to re-embrace it. Meanwhile, he greets and thanks: «It is difficult to be lucid and cold in a moment so full of emotions, where sport exalts or condemns you within a point or for a few hundredths of a second. But sport does not take away what we have created in these two fantastic years, starting from the foundations, building the new home of Basketball Turin day by day, leaving on the table a project that will be finished in the future but which already has concrete and solid foundations. Sometimes in difficulties and especially after such a daring ending, reflections, hints and ideas arise to reach new and even greater goals. Our scream strangled in the throat twice will be the scream that will soon accompany the Pala Gianni Asti with all the Turin fans, whom I hope to embrace in the near future ».
Everything will soon be revealed, the technician will take on his role in the cockpit and will shape a team group awaiting announcements, reconfirmations and possible new additions. At his side Cavina will not have Edoardo Casalone – who arrived in the city in the wake of Esposito and then remained at the side of Poz -, there will be an old acquaintance Dinamo (Giacomo Baioni) while it is to be understood whether Giorgio Gerosa will be confirmed as third.
Mekowulu will take over from Bilan in the role of center. Marco Spissu is unknown to be solved, playmaker engaged in the national team that some continue to approach important European and Italian top players. Capitan Devecchi, Gentile, Chessa and Gandini are pack of Italians well known at the polling station. The rest? Burnell seems far away but in the end it could also become the hit. Kruslin looks set to continue to be in the game. With Bendzius the negotiation is open: his proven value makes him attractive to many, even to Sassari who would not disdain his confirmation. Three possible hypotheses, to be denied or to be found perhaps already in the next few hours. With Professor Logan who seems to have returned to Sassari’s orbit for a last dance season, the long Diop returning to the parent company after the A2 series MVP and some possible rabbits that the Cavina-Pasquini tandem could pull out of the hat.
