While fans await the announcement of Tizi-Oualou, a transfer has been finalized that could also be a clue to future plots. Leonardo Barbanti, a setter born in 2006 who also made his debut last season in Super League coming in to replace De Cecco against Grottazzolina on the second day of the championship, he has been Cachopa's new deputy for two daysAllianz Milan. A Milan that focuses a lot on the analogy with Paolo Porro, in his official statement, another young director who left Modena, arrived in Milan and then exploded to high levels so much so as to be the next starting setter for Gas Sales Piacenza. "When I received the proposal from Milan I immediately thought it would be a unique opportunity", commented Barbanti. He will be the assistant of a Brazilian, and it is another Brazilian that Barbanti has as a model: "In terms of character I definitely look at Bruno as a role model: a very present leader, always charged and who never gives up. On the other hand, as far as physicality is concerned, Paolo Porro and Fernando Cachopa are very similar to me in height, so they represent an important point of reference".

Its Bruno Rezende, in the last few days, returned to the city, apparently also for a meeting with the club and for dinner with former teammates and fans, and Earvin Ngapeth then, a quick visit under the Ghirlandina (also with Salvatore Rossini) on the return of both to Italy to attend the wedding of another former Gialloblù player, Thomas Beretta, who will get married tomorrow.
