STATEMENTS
Federico Tosarelli: “Having arrived at Derthona Basket represents for me an opportunity for further growth after 4 certainly important years both on a sporting and human level in Livorno. I took this opportunity because I saw the possibility of making a further leap forward and also of dealing with a Serie A club and with an already important staff at youth sector level which will allow me to enrich myself professionally. What contribution do I think I can make? First of all, I hope to continue my path of improvement. I really like the importance that the Club is giving to the youth sector, you can clearly see the desire to grow and being able to lend a hand to this existing investment project also in the youth sector gives me even more enthusiasm."
The sports director of the Derthona Basketball Lab, Andrea Ablatico"Federico is an emerging boy, we also followed him to the National Finals, fresh from a multi-year collaboration with Don Bosco Livorno from which we took Edoardo Casalone years ago, demonstrating that it is a club that trains coaches. We will rely on him for the future because he will certainly be good at taking example from two expert coaches like Ansaloni and Rocco. We are happy that he has embraced our project, in which we aim to create a high-level youth sector also as coaches. The password - keep it going - which inspired us to compose the staff that will face next season is continuity. We are finally pursuing it, we are in the second year under Ansaloni's "reign" and with the players we are recruiting we think we can continue in the footsteps of last season. We don't set limits, we are putting our utmost effort into becoming a consolidated reality at a national level."
