Daniele De Pandis

ph. Angiolino

Trento, July 9th 2017

The best receiver of the last regular season of SuperLega will wear the Trentino Volley shirt in the season 2017/18. Daniele De Pandis will be the first libero in the new team that the managers of the Club are arranging for the coach Angelo Lorenzetti.
After Colaci, the red “Supermercati Poli” shirt will be used by another player from Puglia, 33 years-old and born in Lecce, that comes to Trento at the peak of the carriers. He’s always distinguished himself for the great percentages in reception and for the continuity of the productivity. De Pandis will start the ninth season in a row in the SuperLega with the Final Four of Del Monte Supercoppa 2017 at the Eurosole in Civitanova on October 7th. In the last five seasons no other player realized more perfect receptions (779 in 115 matches) and the average is the highest of the whole last season.
He signed an annual agreement, last season he played for Molfetta, where he had played at the beginning of his career in B1 and A2. He’ll also play again the CEV Champions League, tournament played in 2013 with Cuneo (second place in the Final Four of Omsk, awarded as the best receiver).
“After Colaci, for the role of the libero, we can count on the great player De Pandis - stated the coach Angelo Lorenzetti - . Daniele has a high level of game, he attacks in a way I like; I’m sure he can organize the reception, because he's the best in the SuperLega and avoided a lot of direct aces. He can still grow in defense, it will take some time to make perfect the mechanism with the theme, but I can say I’m really glad he’ll play for us.”
