An open secret, to tell the truth, given that it was the athlete himself who revealed to the microphones of Modena Volley, during his last interview after five years spent under Ghirlandina, his new destination in the Marche region several weeks ago. But names like Stankovic’s, in a reality like Grottazzolina, were more than unthinkable until a handful of months ago, so reading this official announcement is still a story within a story, also because figures like his are the ones who put a lot of fuel into an environment that was already very charged in view of its second historic Superleague season. It is no coincidence, in fact, that the company has decided to have Stankovic present at the morning presentation of the new season ticket campaign, scheduled for Saturday 21 June at 11:30 in the Council Chamber of the Municipality of Grottazzolina. Talking about Stankovic is almost superfluous, given that he represents an institution and is one of the most successful and long-lived athletes among those still active.
