The first piece of the biancoblù roster is the Captain, Iacopo Botto.
Confirmed the band for the spiker from La Spezia after the great presence on the pitch shown last season and leadership skills within the group.
On his arrival coach Giaccardi had no doubts, his captain in Cuneo is Iachi: «I am extremely happy and proud that Iacopo has decided to stay; following the A2 championship last year, I was able to see how in addition to the technical value he can give to the team, he is a “Captain”, a captain on a human level. For me he is an example of what a captain should be and therefore I really have a thousand percent confidence that he will be able to help the team together with me, together with his teammates to progress and raise the level that will be needed to face this championship. The fact that he remains is a great message of the intentions that the Club, I and the team have for next season »- these are the first words of Max Giaccardi about Iacopo Botto.
When he returned to wear the Cuneo shirt last year he was excited and was very proud of the captain’s armband, today in announcing his renewal in biancoblù he is more determined than ever: “I’m very happy to stay in Cuneo, the job it’s not finished, I’m excited and motivated to try again to fight for the super league. What we did last season was not enough, and that’s why we need a qualitative leap from everyone, me first, but I’m sure that with the hard work we will do we will be able to grow a lot. It will be a tough season, many teams have strengthened, but we are Cuneo and we come from two finals played last season so we will all fight to the end without fear. Working with Max will be stimulating, he is very energized and I am sure he will transmit his charge to us. We will start soon and this will allow us to work more deeply on the details that are what make the difference. This season we will need the public even more, we have brought enthusiasm back to the city, and that is why I hope to see the building again with so many people together with the Blu Brothers to support us and believe in it together with us! »- Iacopo Botto.
