At the Hyatt Centric hotel in Milan, the Lega Basket Serie A assembly was held with the first item on the agenda being the election of the president.

“I thank the clubs for the opportunity and the trust, and I would like to thank Umberto Gandini for his work on behalf of Lega Basket over these years – said the new LBA number one -. I will try to help clubs through development and the big changes that the basketball world is experiencing: it will be an interesting challenge and I count on everyone’s help. I like words like sharing, sustainability, visibility and positivity”.

“I am proud of the work carried out in these years together with the Serie A clubs – the words of Gandini -We had set ourselves the goal of achieving greater visibility of our league and its protagonists, and I think the results have been seen. I will leave a stronger League, in step with the times and capable of better interpreting the challenges that the market requires; I wish Maurizio Gherardini, an experienced and successful executive, success in the challenges he will face in this role for the common good of our basketball; I am at his disposal to work on a complete transition of powers focused on maximum collaboration”.
