Virtus Bologna: Alex Mumbrù Expected in Town; One Piece Still Missing from the Roster

The new Virtus Bologna roster is nearly complete. Alex Mumbrù, who will serve as head coach of the V Nere starting this year, is expected in Bologna in early August. There’s a lot of excitement to kick off this new adventure (the first game is on September 19, in the Italian Super Cup, against Armani Olimpia Milano) and to start getting to know the entire roster.

Speaking of the roster, following the departure of Luca Vildoza (to Partizan Belgrade), only one more addition is needed to complete the team for the 2026–27 season.

General Manager Paolo Ronci is working to identify the right fit. What is certain is that it will be a guard or forward. Among the various names circulating is that of Brandon Boston, a 24-year-old American (who played for Fenerbahçe last year), but it’s not necessarily a player who hasn’t yet been mentioned by the media.

Head coach Alex Mumbrù has worked tirelessly alongside General Manager Paolo Ronci in full agreement. In fact, the decisions made have been fully agreed upon by both parties. The same will hold true for the selection of the final player.
