These are the words of CONI president Giovanni Malagò, commenting on the federbasket president’s decision to continue with Pozzecco as coach of the national team despite the failure to qualify in Paris.

"With Gianni Petrucci we have known each other for a lifetime, è always been resoundingly respectful and has always involved Coni in the choices of the national team coach. Personally, I extraordinarily agree with the choice to continue with Pozzecco".

"Among other things, I understand that the ct is absolutely well-liked by the players,” he added. The group, moreover, they tell me is compact. Then there'è a matter of time available to the athletes, becauseé you add the problem of how they are engaged in leagues that are not the Italian one”.

“For that matter, I if I had been the president of basketball (actually, Malagò Malagò è was, but at the club level with Virtus Roma, ed.) I would have made the same choice as Petrucci”, concluded Malagò.
