Cantù Has Two Captains; Frank Vitucci Sets the Tone

Acqua S.Bernardo Pallacanestro Cantù will have two captains for the 2026-2027 season. The Brianza-based club has officially announced that Riccardo Moraschini will remain the team’s captain, but he will be joined by Semaj Christon, one of this summer’s new signings, as co-captain. This decision aligns with head coach Frank Vitucci’s approach, inspired by the American model that emphasizes having multiple leadership figures within the locker room.

Moraschini, now in his fourth season in the blue-and-white jersey, will thus retain the captaincy for the second consecutive year. His experience, knowledge of the environment, and ability to lead the team are a cornerstone for Cantù, which has chosen to rely on him once again as the face of the project.

Alongside him will be Christon, who is expected to serve as a key figure, particularly among the foreign players. Now in his sixth overall season in the Italian league, the American point guard brings with him a deep understanding of Serie A and natural leadership qualities that make him a key figure both on and off the court.

Cantù heads into the new season on the strength of having secured its place in the league as a newly promoted team during the 2025–2026 season. For this year, the club has made several changes, starting with the general manager and head coach positions: the former is held by Simone Giofré, and the latter by Frank Vitucci. The two had previously worked together at other clubs, such as Brindisi and Treviso.
