Allianz in Challenge Cup Final

At the Atatürk Volleybol Salonu in Izmir, Allianz Milano also won the second leg of the Challenge semifinal. After a 3-0 first-leg lead, coach Piazza’s team won the first two sets of the final in a thrilling showdown, then closed the match 3-1 with a strong presence of young and very young players from the bench. This was a significant victory for Powervolley’s history, achieved on a special day, which began with the sad news of the untimely passing of Filippo Rutigliano, the team’s assistant for home matches and avid volleyball enthusiast. He had been battling an incurable disease for several months. The entire Powervolley family immediately turned to him when the last ball dropped in Türkiye.
