Then he played in Fossò, Oderzo, Trieste, Lamezia Terme, Massa Carrara and Cles. Indeed, Emilio Maniero was the teammate of Lorenza Bernardi, who will be his coach this season.

“I can’t wait to start training – said Maniero – After many years in the B1 I finally make it to the A2 and doing so in my hometown”.
