The professionalism he demonstrated as a player has transferred him to the coaching staff of Volley Altotevere since last year, where his role has been strengthened this year. The marriage between Davide Marra (pictured), 41, and the white and blue club is stronger than ever. In San Giustino, the Calabrian libero concluded his extraordinary playing career, which included 403 appearances in the three main categories (264 in the current Superleague, 88 in A2 and 51 in A3), not counting the years in Serie B; His personal record includes nine seasons in the top division, five Champions League appearances, a Challenge Cup and an Italian Cup won with Piacenza, an A2 Italian Cup with Vibo Valentia, and a near-miss in the 2013 championship, again with Piacenza, losing 2-3 to Trento in game 5. Moving on to the national team, Marra has earned over 40 appearances between the World Cup, European Championship, and the World League. His career began in B2 with Foligno, then moved up to B1 with Marsciano and Città di Castello, where he was promoted to A2. Then came his Superleague debut with Loreto, a stay in A1 for Piacenza’s five seasons, an A2 season with Vibo Valentia with an immediate promotion to A1, and finally Siena in A2, Città di Castello in B, and San Giustino, first in B and then A3.
