The Italian Basketball Federation wants the team to be led by E. Messina at the Olympic Games

The helm of the Italian national team, which has not found a clear direction in recent years, is likely to be entrusted for the third time. Ettore Messinai.

La Gazzetta dello Sport announces that Milan strategist AX Armani should lead the national team at the Olympics if current coach Romeo Sacchetti manages to win a qualifying tournament in Belgrade, where the Serbs will be the favorites.

Even if E. Messina turned down such an opportunity, R. Sacchetti still wouldn’t be in the Olympics. In case of joining, the Italian Basketball Federation has imagined Walter De Raffaele, a strategist at Umana Reyer in Venice, as a backup.

E. Messina has already led the Italian national team before. He finished the 1993-1997 stage in silver in the European Championship and in 2016 he led the team to the 2017 championship, where the Italians were seventh.

After the 2017 championship, it was R.Sacchetti who took command of the Italian team. The Italians he trained reached the 2019 World Cup with ten to play. Italy entered the next European Championship as host.

Sacchetti’s withdrawal from the Italian national team is no surprise. The strategist is not only in the national team, but also in the clubs: in 2020 he was fired by the Vanoli teams from Cremona and Fortitudo from Bologna.
