Marcelo Nicola’s words after his farewell to Treviso

Marcelo Nicola, after his farewell to Treviso, made some statements to ‘La Tribuna di Treviso’. “Of course I’m bitter,” he confessed, “I would have liked to continue, I don’t see a single reason to justify my non-reconfirmation: a year ago I took the team at a time of great difficulty and we saved ourselves;this year building the roster was very difficult, the budget was what it was, the forecast was that we would encounter many difficulties, plus all the ones that always happen, such as injuries and player changes. Yet we are still here. I also like to remember that apart from Milan, which we beat last year, however, this year the other semifinalists, namely Bologna, Sassari and Tortona, we overcame them all. In fact, all the teams that made it to the playoffs, even Reyer.”

“I am waiting for a suitable offer. With a lot of desire but without anxiety,” Nicola added about his future. “What does that leave me with? Definitely the knowledge that I can coach a team in the big league. I had no doubts, since I had done it in other leagues, others maybe yes. But I also take away the great growth of a whole new group and, above all, a bet won, the one that was asked of me by the club, that is, launching and enhancing the club’s assets, the young people, with a Faggian who has become an important player, 12 minutes of average, without forgetting the others who have helped us in the gym, see Torresani who unfortunately got injured at the wrong time, we would have needed his energy, or Scandiuzzi, of whose existence, even in the youth sector, last summer few people were aware.”
