Nikolay Uchikov’s back up in the otuside hitter position will be Stefano Giannotti. Born in 1989, the promising youngster helped Mestrino to go up in the B1 in a splendid season.
“The Serie A is a dream for me – said Giannotti – But I always kept my feet on the ground. I started to play volleyball at eight but I never set aside my study. I followed my family’s advice and I am now going to university. I have no intention to quit, but this call from Padova volley obviously fills me with joy”.
