Last but not least, the announcement rounds out the red and white roster with a player called upon to raise the bar and become a key player for the new Banca Macerata Fisiomed. Denis Karyagin is officially a new red and white spiker for the 2025/26 season.
A mere list of his eight career titles would suffice to convey the value of the 2002-born native of Burgas, Bulgaria. His latest trophy came on the Bosphorus with Fenerbahçe in Turkey, but the crowning glory of his trophy cabinet is undoubtedly the 2023 CEV Champions League title won with Zaksa Kędzierzyn-Koźle. Yes, that Zaksa, one of the most successful clubs in Europe.
Karyagin is not entirely new to the Italian league: in the 2021/22 season, he wore the jersey of Vero Volley Monza, contributing to the team’s victory in the CEV Cup. Since then, his career has been international and rich in experiences: Burgas, Monza, Koźle, Toulouse, Novosibirsk, and Istanbul have been the main stages of a constantly growing career, which perfectly represents the quality and determination of a very young, yet already very mature, athlete.
