Itas Trentino assures the setter Alessandro Acquarone: the alternative to Sbertoli

The Itas Trentino men’s market Italian Champion continues with the arrival of another young and talented player, as had happened a few days before with the signing of Giulio Magalini as a defender. In this case, it is the lift department that injects precious "gasoline" into its engine, thanks to the arrival in the yellow-blues of Alessandro Acquarone. The 23-year-old setter from Sanremo will be the alternative to Riccardo Sbertoli in the squad entrusted to the new coach Fabio Soli. Technical athlete, tenacious, with excellent hands and also able to close the action in first person (as well as the 87 points of seasonal average achieved in the previous six years). Thanks to Trentino Volley Acquarone, for the first time in his career he will run the SuperLega stages, the most beautiful championship in the world, putting himself to the test after gaining great experience in the cadet series. Despite being still young, Alessandro has in fact already six seasons in Serie A2 with the jersey of the Lupi of Santa Croce (A Team that launched him at great levels) and, in recent months, with that of Motta di Livenza. His curriculum also includes participation in the 2018 European Under-20 Championship with the Italian national team, sharing that experience with his future teammate Daniele Lavia.
"Acquarone is a setter from the undoubted technical qualities - explained the new coach of Trentino Volley Fabio Soli - that over many seasons in Serie A2 has proven to have talent, but he is above all a boy who strongly wanted to come to Trento to test himself in an experience very different from those he was used to. And this is an important sign, which shows how Alessandro wants to change and grow; he will have different tasks to perform during the vintage; the first of all will soon begin, already after August, when he will be called to lead the team in the control room until the time when Sbertoli will not end the activity with the National Team. He will have to make himself available to his teammates immediately and I am convinced that he will do his best, as he will be ready from October in training and in the match. I am very happy with his arrival".
Alessandro Acquarone signed an annual contract with Trentino Volley and will wear the jersey number 20.
