Riccardo Tavernelli is a new Juventus player
Bertram Derthona announces that he has reached a two-year agreement with Riccardo Tavernelli, a point guard born in 91 who has played in Latina for the last two seasons.
CAREER – Tavernelli, born in Monza on 16 March 1991, took his first steps in the Lissone youth academy before moving to Desio where he completed his youth career. He had his first senior experience in 2009/10 wearing the shirt of Sangiorgese, a team playing in Serie C. At the end of the season the Lombard team won promotion to B Amateurs: Riccardo also played in the 2010/11 season with the same shirt. In the following two years he played in Latina, in National Division A, before moving to Legnano, in National Division B, in 2013/14.
In Lombardy he scored 11.2 points on average, with 4.9 rebounds, and was among the protagonists of the team's promotion to A2 Silver, which came following the victory in the promotion play-off of the Final Four played in Cervia against Latina on 22 June 2014. In 2014/15 he moved to Omegna, a team playing in A2 Silver, before returning to Latina in 2015/16, the year in which he averaged 12.9 points and added 4.2 rebounds.
Riccardo then moved to Trapani for the 2016/17 season, qualifying for the playoffs, which ended with elimination in the Round of 3 at the hands of Treviso (which won 0-2017 in the series). In the summer of 2018 he returned to Latina for the third time in his career, where he remained for the next two years. In the 19/3 season he was among the protagonists of the brilliant year experienced by the Lazio team, which achieved qualification for the Final Eight of the Italian Cup - where it was defeated by Treviso in the quarter-finals - and for the promotion playoffs, which concluded with elimination in the Round of 2 at the hands of Montegranaro, who prevailed XNUMX-XNUMX in the series. Now he comes to Bertram Derthona to start a new chapter in his career.
Thus Marco Ramondino, head coach of Bertram Derthona: ʺOne of the objectives we have set ourselves, together with Marco Picchi, is to build a balanced team with players who have both a high level of motivation and great technical and human qualities. With this in mind, we wanted to start with the point guard, which is a decisive role, and we are happy to have acquired Riccardo Tavernelli, who is an established player in our championship and in particular in the West Group. We are also convinced that he is an athlete who still has potential to express: he has an excellent ability to involve his teammates and knows how to lead the team, so he certainly represents the starting piece for building a winning roster..
These are the first words of Riccardo Tavernelli: ʺI am very excited to start this journey in a new team and city. The conversations I had with the CEO Marco Picchi and with Marco Ramondino gave me great enthusiasm, I perceived the desire to grow in the team and the company after a difficult year. I decided to accept Tortona's proposal also because there is the possibility of playing a good championship, taking a further step all together..
