New Padova Volley made its first move on the market. It reached a one-year agreement with middleblocker Manuele Cricca, who helped Loreto to be promoted in the A1 last season. Born in 1981, 200cm tall, he has been one of the main men last season, scoring 218 points in 103 sets played.

“I received many offers – said manuele – be that in A1 or A2. In the end I chose Padova because it’s the team that showed interest from the start and that really proved it wanted me. I talked to the sport director Santuz and I understood that the club is ambitious. I am really motivated and happy to be in this club”.
