Antonella Palmisano relies on her husband.

The words of Antonella Palmisano

Antonella Palmisano has chosen: her new coach will be Lorenzo Dessi. Thirty-four years old, a former blue marcher and coach of the Fiamme Gialle, since 2018 è married to the 20 km Olympic champion and in recent seasons has followed the growth of some interesting blue youth prospects. Today’s announcement follows one made last week, when Palmisano had made official the separation from his longtime coach Patrizio Parcesepe.

“I am delighted and excited to announce as my new technical guide Lorenzo Dessi – the words of the blue medalist – After a’careful and thorough analysis, and with the’help and full support of my Fiamme Gialle Sports Group and the Federation that I thank for being close to me during this period, I consider this choice the best possible”.

“I consider Lorenzo, my husband, to be a young but certainly prepared technician, as evidenced by his achievements, nationally and internationally, at the youth level. For him, without a doubt, è a great professional challenge that he has decided to take up courageously, and for that I thank him, but at the same time an’important opportunity’ for growth”.

“For me, on the other hand, he represents the guarantee of stabilityà and technical continuity, as he has full knowledge of all my athletic history and methodological approach followed so far, and the guarantee from the personal point of view, to have that serenityà and tranquilityà necessary to face the new season. Together, I am convinced, we will put forth all our energy to give, once again, to all Athletics and Italian sportsmen and women moments of joy to share together”.
