Virtus Bologna: Zanetti unveils the future of Shengelia and Belinelli

On the day they won the 17th scudetto in their history (beaten, in the final, the Leonessa Brescia with a dry 3-0), Virtus Bologna came to the end of a cycle. It’s been confirmed by patron Zanetti who, in the post-game 3, announced many changes at the roster level.

First, next year, Shengelia (voted MVP of the LBA Finals), will be gone. They await him, with trepidation, in Barcelona. Farewell also to Belinelli who, at 39, will say no more to basketball played (although, when questioned about his future, the NBA Champion took his time).

He did not stall Zanetti who, to Eurosport, stated the following: “We have already set the future and defined some purchases, but we could not announce them yet because there were teams still in the field, including ours. Next year we will build a younger team. We know that Shengelia will leave and Belinelli will quit, so we will have to rejuvenate the group”.

In short, after the celebration for the Scudetto (back in Bologna, Virtus side) after four years of waiting, room for revolution, which, in this case, will be important and deep. It should be remembered that Virtus Bologna will play, also next season, the Euroleague. Therefore, a roster up to the situation will be needed. The certainty is that it will still be coach Ivanovic who will lead the Black Vs.
