Diego Flaccadori, first words as a player of Olimpia Milano

Olimpia Milano, Diego Flaccadori introduces himself

Diego Flaccadori is as of today a new player of Olimpia Milano. The 27-year-old’s signing was made official by the Milanese club on Monday afternoon, just hours after Flaccadori himself said goodbye to Trento, after seven years (not consecutive, because they were interspersed by the experience from 2019 to 2021 at Bayern Munich) in bianconero.

“I’m very happy, excited and charged to land at Olimpia,” the Seriate native basketball player told the official channels of the white and red club. “I come from an experience that helped me a lot to build self-confidence and personality. I think it’s the right time for me to arrive at such an important team, I can’t wait to start and help Olimpia reach its goals.”

“Flaccadori comes to Milan at the right time in his career, young, motivated, but already experienced,” added Olimpia general manager Christos Stavropoulos. “In the last two years he has played a lot is well both in the league and in the Eurocup. We are happy to welcome him to our family.”

Raised in the youth teams of Excelsior Bergamo and Blu Orobica Bergamo, Flaccadori made his senior debut in 2012, right at Blu Orobica. He then played in Treviglio in the 2013/14 season, before the long experience in Trentino, with German brackets. Under-22 player of the year in Serie A in 2016, Flaccadori also boasts a fair amount of experience on the senior national team, taking part with the Azzurri in the victorious qualifiers for the 2023 World Cup.
