“I am a young player with great ambitions and joining one of the biggest clubs in the world, winner of the Champions League, is a huge step in my career”.

With these words Gabrijel Cvanciger introduces himself to Perugia!
The very young Croatian opposite, born in 2003, will be Wassim Ben Tara’s assistant this year and will have the opportunity to grow and experience a season as a protagonist at the highest level in the ranks of the Block Devils, who this year will take to the field to compete for 5 trophies up for grabs, both in the Italian and international championships. A unique opportunity for a player who, after maturing in the championship of his country (he was in force from 2019 to 2024 in Mladost Zagreb in Serie A) arrived just last year in the Italian championship, where he wore the jersey of Yuasa Battery Grottazzolina.

“This season was my first in the Italian championship – comments Cvanciger – and, even though everything was new, I managed to adapt quickly, to find confidence in my game and to do well when I played and when I had the chance to play, especially in key moments. The call from Perugia is a great honor for me, it means that my commitment is recognized and motivates me even more”.

In one season in the Superleague championship Gabrijel Cvanciger played 27 official matches. Despite his young age, his palma res is already rich with 4 victories in the Croatian championship and 2 Croatian cups under his belt.
