Olimpia Milano, for Ettore Messina there is an improvement from last season

“We have a deeper roster,” Messina said.

Olimpia Milano coach Ettore Messina, spoke at the Trento Sports Festival, organized by ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’.

“We have a deeper roster than before, we will have to be good at managing it thinking also about the Euroleague, where we dream of returning to the Final Four,” stressed the coach of the Milanese team, in view of the upcoming season, highlighting the real goal of the red and white.

Then Messina returned to the scudetto won in the final against Virtus Bologna, which instead in the 2020/21 season had won with a clear 4-0 victory: “Seeing players, staff, personnel, Mr. Armani and fans celebrate is what remains most. Revenge for the defeat in the 2021 final? No, just a lot more humility.”

Finally, the former member of Gregg Popovich’s staff at the San Antonio Spurs, joked about the tattoo he got after winning the Tricolor: “All my son’s fault, before the start of the finals series he saw me worried and as a bet he made me promise that in case of success I would listen to him. I couldn’t have exempted myself, but deep down I’m proud of it: it reminds me that it’s been 30 years, since the first title won in 1993, that I have a role in top basketball.”
