David Cournooh leaves Brescia but not the'Italy, ready for a new challenge

According to reports from Basket Marche, Libertas Livorno is now very close to closing a major operation in view of the upcoming Serie A2 championship. David Cournooh would, in fact, be one step away from landing in the amaranth.

On the 1990-born outside player, Dinamo Sassari had also decisively inserted itself, which had made an offer to put at coach Luca Vitali’s disposal a player of proven experience. However, the project presented by the Tuscan club seems to have convinced the player more.

Cournooh comes from four consecutive seasons spent with Pallacanestro Brescia. In the last Serie A championship, he averaged 4.1 points and 1.0 rebounds per game, playing about 15 minutes of average per game.

Officially presented on Tuesday as the new coach of Pistoia Basket, Franco Ciani meanwhile has clear ideas on the goals to be pursued in the next season at the helm of the biancorossi, after a year lived by the latter on a roller coaster in A2, which ended with the not-so-slightly suffered stay in the category, certified by the victory in game-5 of the playout with Ruvo di Puglia.

“We have a long way to go together and it is important to start it with enthusiasm and the right energy,” Ciani said during the official presentation. For all of us there is a lot of desire to start again and return to an important level, and I personally come here with the utmost determination. I know what kind of enthusiasm and participation there is in the environment when things are done with participation and commitment: something we will try to build with daily work.”
