Davide Mazzanti in Trento

Davide Mazzanti è the new coach of the Itas Trentino women’s Serie A1. The 47-year-old coach from the Marche region will be officially presented on Friday, December 29, 2023 at 10 a.m. at the Trentino Marketing headquarters at 11 Via Romagnosi in Trento. Trentino Volleyball thanked his predecessor Marco Sinibaldi for his commitment during the four months he led the team.

Davide Mazzanti for the first time since his farewell to Italvolley in November had returned to talk about Paola Egonu in an interview granted to Gazzetta dello Sport: "After the 2022 World Cup semifinals Paola told me she would no longer want to work with me".

"Before the summer I had a confrontation with her: she è apologized, we started again from the collegiate in Florence, but in the retreat she struggled. She could not rest and thereò sometimes it did not allow her to start or finish training", added the'now former coach, replaced by Julio Velasco.

"We talked with Professor Vercelli, our psychologist, and we identified, in agreement with the Federation, two ways: exclude her from the European Championships or reinstate her with a progressive path. Taking her out of the starting position had to rekindle her desire to be a leader again. The pathway è broke down at the end of the European Championships. It è was not continued at the pre-Olympic becauseé Egonu at the European Championships could no longer accept this situation of initial reserve", concluded Mazzanti.
