It will be Giovanni Del Basso the new “man of numbers” of ShedirPharma Sorrento. A great coup scored by the president Ruggiero, as the scoutman has a very important specific weight in communications with the bench, the study of the opponents and the game distribution of each single team.
Professional with great experience in the sector, he has already worked with Mr. Racaniello and the athletic trainer D’Argenio in the 2021/22 season in A3 in Marcianise.
Del Basso started in B2 Female in Pontecagnano, achieving the double promotion in A2. In the 2011/12 championship he obtained the 5th place finish, reaching the promotion play-off semi-final and reaching the Italian Cup final. Subsequent experience in Sala Consilina and then in Baronissi, where he gets a new promotion in A2. In 2019 she was scoutman of the Hungarian women’s national team at the Universiade in Naples, then she worked in Castellammare di Stabia (B1 Female), Marcianise (A3 Male) and again in Baronissi (B2 Female) where she won yet another championship.
Last experience in Serie B Female in Baronissi, you return this year to men’s volleyball for this new adventure with ShedirPharma Sorrento. For fans who don’t know you yet, how has your career been?
“I worked for 7 years in women’s A2, 1 year in men’s A3, so what is about to start will be my ninth season in Serie A. I faced important realities, I reached a final of the Coppa Italia in women’s, and participating in events like this always gives us extra motivation to improve ourselves. I’m here to give my contribution in terms of experience. I already worked with Racaniello 2 seasons ago in men’s A3: I’m excited to share a new volleyball path with him, and at the same time I can’t wait to get to know a reality like Sorrento that is talked about very well”.
How proud are you to be able to count on the trust of coach Racaniello who strongly wanted you with him?
“It obviously makes me very proud. It is the second time in my career that I happen to work with a coach who started out as a scout. It will therefore be a continuous confrontation that will be able to enrich me and improve me a lot over the course of the season”.
What are your personal and team goals?
“Personally, I want to give my all to help the coach and the team as effectively as possible. I am sure that a championship awaits us in which we will be able to obtain important satisfactions”.
