New face in the technical staff: welcome Massimo Galli
The structure of Bertram Derthona continues to take shape in view of the next Serie A championship: the Club is adding Massimo Galli to its technical staff, with the role of assistant coach of the first team. After a high-level career, enriched by numerous successes at youth and senior level, "Cedro" arrives in Tortona to start a new adventure.
CAREER – Born in Varese on 26 August 1960, Galli began his career in the youth sector of Varese Basketball, of which he was responsible and with which he won four Scudetti. At senior level, he coached Pallacanestro Varese, winning the Italian Super Cup, Campus Varese and Busto Arsizio, in B2, Bisceglie (A Dilettanti), Rimini (Legadue), Forlì (DNA Gold) and Chieti (LNP Silver and A2). He began the 2018/19 season as head coach of VL Pesaro, an experience that ended in January 2019.
As an assistant he was part of the staff of Varese Basketball, with which he won the star Scudetto in 1999, Rimini in Legadue before becoming head coach of the team, Biella in Serie A, Sant'Antimo and Forlì in Legadue.
In the last two seasons he joined the staff of Umana Reyer Venezia, with the role of assistant coach to Walter De Raffaele.
Massimo also boasts important experiences with Italbasket: he was assistant coach of the Under 19 men's national team capable of winning world silver in 2017 in Egypt, and was part of the Under 18 men's and senior women's national team.
Now he is ready to begin a new stage of his journey.
ʺThe relationship I have with Marco Ramondino was helpful in making me make this choice – the first words of Massimo Galli -. I then spoke with President Marco Picchi and Doctor Beniamino Gavio who further convinced me of how good the choice of Derthona Basket was at this moment in my career. I'm very excited, I believe that the team we have built will make us have fun and get good results. Despite the fact that we will play in Casale Monferrato, we will be able to have a championship that will give satisfaction to the Club and the fansʺ.
