ANGRI. Angri Pallacanestro is pleased to announce that it has entrusted the technical guidance of C Gold to Francesco Chiavazzo, former captain of the grey-red team, until his serious injury. A choice of heart and belonging for the club, which has relied heavily on a coach who trained ‘at home’. Francesco Chiavazzo will also continue to lead the Under 19 Gold team and will be assisted by coach Donato Scognamiglio in managing the first team. Trainer of renowned experience, he has had important experiences with Cittadella Torre del Greco, Herculaneum and especially Nps Stabia. These are the statements of the president Alfonso Campitiello.“It’s a dream come true. Finally two Angresi at the head of our senior teams. After the choice of Iannone with the girls, the appointment of Chiavazzo. It is not an interim or fallback situation. We have decided to give Francesco this great opportunity, because he deserves it for what he has provided over the years from a technical and professional point of view. We are projected into a future where we can have our say from all points of view. Now we can reap the benefits of the work done over the years with our coaches. All this must fill us with joy and emotion. Coach Chiavazzo must have the confidence and tranquility to carry out his task in the best possible way. A dutiful passage to our square which is the best in all of Campania. I am convinced that the fans will be close to us as they always have. The club is solid and has an important project”.
Here are Francesco Chiavazzo’s first words as head coach. “First of all, I wanted to thank the club for the esteem and trust they have placed in me. When I was asked to play such an important role, despite the many unknowns, I didn’t say no. Because you can’t say no to people and a city like this. Life sometimes confronts us with situations, opportunities, choices, decisions that we must gallop and do our best to achieve the best possible result. This is my way of life in everyday life and in basketball. What I can say is that I will give everything I have both emotionally and as a presence, making my knowledge and skills available to the kids. The team is what matters most and there is esteem between us. Knowing the boys I know that there will already be respect for roles and great commitment in training. I want to say hello to Nino Sanfilippo, a great fan and connoisseur of the game, as well as a respectable person, to whom values that go beyond basketball bind us and to Luca Festa, his assistant, a sincere boy with whom a dear human relationship has been established. Finally, I tell the fans and the people who follow us and love us to stay close to us and continue to make their warmth felt. Your support can give so much to the boys, who will always sweat the shirt and give joy. This is a promise that I feel like making together with my collaborators who will be invaluable. Come on Angri always. Let us never forget that.” Coach Francesco Chiavazzo will direct the first training session with the new staff this afternoon to begin preparing for next Saturday’s delicate home match, at 7 pm, against Mondo Camerette One Team Basket Caserta.
