CAREER – Born in Casale Monferrato on 24 January 1981, Giacomo took his first steps as a player in the youth sector of Junior Casale, his city's team. After having played in all the youth teams, he made his debut in the first team, playing in Serie C2, in 1997. His playing career, in the regional championships, continued until 2012.

At the same time, starting from 2005 he began working as a coach and collaborator at the Junior Casale headquarters, before becoming Team Manager in 2011. He maintained this role until the summer of 2018, working alongside Marco Martelli (General Manager) and coaches such as Marco Crespi, Andrea Valentini, Giulio Griccioli and Marco Ramondino.

From 2018 to 2020 he was General Manager of the Club, a position he also held in the last two years at JB Monferrato (a company founded in summer 2020). Carrera also holds a degree in Sports Sciences, obtained in Turin with a thesis entitled "The role of the Team Manager in Basketball".

Now he arrives in Tortona to start a new chapter in his professional adventure.

Thus Marco Picchi, President of Bertram Derthona: “I welcome Giacomo, remembering that our relationship has lasted for several years, since we played on the parquet with different results than today. Having him with us is a pleasure and a privilege, above all because it continues our corporate line which has strengthened in recent years thanks to the indications of Doctor Gavio and the inputs of Ferencz Bartocci, according to which every result for the team corresponds to an investment in the structure. I believe this has been a little secret of all these years of success and I think Giacomo is the best purchase we could have made in this area".

The comment of Ferencz Bartocci, CEO of Bertram Derthona: “Giacomo Carrera is a young manager with great experience. We have known each other for several years, we have challenged each other many times in recent years with Casale Monferrato and, personally, also with other entities. I think he is a really important person to include in our staff, he is a pure corporate expert with great sporting and organizational skills and he will give us the improvement we are looking for from an organizational point of view. He will take care of both the sporting part and the connection with marketing, communication and other aspects”.

The first words of Giacomo Carrera, new Club Manager of Bertram Derthona: “I thank Doctor Gavio, Marco Picchi and Ferencz Bartocci for wanting me here. For me it is a career advancement that I see not only as a goal but also as the beginning of a new path. The thanks also include all the people with whom I worked at Casale and who helped me grow: among these coach Marco Ramondino with whom I worked for four years and who I am happy to meet again. I will give my best effort as I am used to doing and I hope that the past season will not be unrepeatable but unforgettable, with the hope of achieving increasingly important results.".
