Julio Velasco meets Paola Egonu and talks about the future

Former Italy volleyball coach Julio Velasco in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport commented on rumors that have him among the possible replacements for Davide Mazzanti on the Azzurre bench.

"I have read and heard about it, but I have not had any news. I think certain decisions have been made, but Federal President Manfredi è has been very clear on the subject. It is being talked about after the Olympic qualification. So I think we have to wait"

Velasco, the newspaper also reports, met in recent days in the gym in Busto Arsizio precisely Paola Egonu, who at the pre-Olympic decided not to participate: the two could find themselves together at the next Olympics.

Velasco also commented on the path of the men’s team at the European Championships: "Poland and Italy, in my opinion, will be the two finalists. And this could also be a final that will be repeated for more years, because outside of Europe I have seen Brazil in crisis and the United States with an old team. Poland and Italy, on the other hand, are teams that have a prospect, and it is no coincidence that they are also the two with moreù balance".
