Stoytchev now has 12 players at his disposal with the return of Italian international Emanuele Birarelli.

“It’s been a special summer for me but it’s behind me now – said the middle blocker – Taking part in the Olympic Games is something that happens rarely in a lifetime and I have been lucky enough to do it twice, and taking a medal in my second attempt, this is a great satisfaction, I am extremely proud of that. To add up to that, I got married, which is something incredibly important in my private life. As for Trentino, if we look back on the end of last season, it’s logical that my first thought goes to the coming league title”.
