I think Trento won't partecipate to A1 but to A2, they basically completed their roster (they just announced the OH for the bench) and it's definetly below everyone else (well, except for Caserta). I think that if they knew they would play on A1 they would have signed at least a new setter and middle blocker.

Bokan in Caserta
http://www.volalto.net/tatjanabokan-caserta-volleymercato/
They had the nerve to say she has perfect reception
-
Francesca Marcon officially in Bergamo, and Carraro to Monza
-
I think they will struggle to even with a set aswell; they're still missing 2 italians on the starting six, and I guess they're going to be two completely useless MB

Volalto Caserta hired Sabina Altynbekova (OH from Kazakistan) as the new "Image woman of the club in the world" for the next 2 years...

Funniest thing is the 2 years contract lmao, as if anyone believes that. Two months if she's lucky
-
I don't think she will retire, maybe one year gap/maternity? I think her husband signed back with a turkish team

Federica Ferrario (L, ITA) to Volalto Caserta...apart from ridiculous press release, anyone knows if is she a talent?
I've only seen her play at last year u18 national final and she was kind of a mess honestly, but it could have been just an off day. She was awarded best libero though, so maybe she was good on the other matches

Does anyone know the start and end days for the European season? How are players already being called to their teams? P
Italy doesn't have an exact date yet but in late August/early September there's going to be SuperCup with a new formula, most of the teams are starting to train around half of July

I need to know what drugs whoever writes those announcement is on
The audacity to even imply that Portuguese and Israeli leagues are a big jump compared to Brazilian league is commendable
-
Caserta is ready to announce the 2020/2021 roster...prepare yourself!!!
Can't wait to see who's crazy enough to sign with them

Lana from Minas to San Giovanni in Marignano (Italy A2)

Display MoreToday VcomeVolley, an insert of La Gazzetta (the most famous italian newspaper regarding sports) published all the rosters of the Serie A1.
Pomì looked like: Lloyd-Rosamaria Batema-Partenio Stufi-Melandri Sirressi.
The coach is Parisi.
This to me sounds completely new as the last I heard was that Casalmaggiore was struggling with sponsors.
Do you guys know.something more?
In this article from a local newspaper they talk more in depth about the situation of the team

Gold sport agency updated their players status to "looking for a club" . There are a few big names such as Stevanovic, Vasileva, de lá Cruz etc. Brakocevic seems not available. I guess her transfer is done to Chemik Police. Also Marcon to Bergamo seems official. https://women.volleybox.net/gold-sport-y14
I wouldn't take the status on that page all that seriously honestly. For instance, Sloetjes is listed as "looking for a club" but she already announced she's not interested in playing for a while.

This canard about Brakocevic and her not being able to play for Serbia was a favourite peddle of pope's, and no matter how many times he was shown to be inaccurate, he would always come back later to claim it again. As people said, her taking citizenship was solely done for club purposes (plus, she kinda had to take the citizenship anyway, marrying an Italian national and all that), as is the case of vast majority of dual citizenship cases. People on sport forums such as these inevitable get all excited whenever any half-decent player takes a second citizenship, but in 9 cases out of 10, that step has nothing to do with NT.
I did some digging, I'm bored and I have a lot of free time today
It wasn't the most recent documentation (2016) but I doubt much has changed.
Having italian citizenship is not enough to play as italian: you either have to change Federation, or haven't taken part of activities of the original Federation for more than 4 years (I guess this means taking part of the national team?). That's why when Brakocevic was in Modena in 2016/17 she counted as a foreigner on court even though she already had italian citizenship (here you can see she still has Serbian nationality but got married in 2014), while this year I guess she changed Federation, since she took part of Olympics in 2016 with Serbia (so no 4 years gap). So I'm guessing that if it was a change of Federation just from this year she shouldn't be eligible for Serbia? It would be just from this year though, so if they were talking about this previously it definetly was untrue.

I think Perinelli is actually the one thst's going to be starting most of the times

Chieri made a really good team for next season
I don't know if it's the right transfer for Villani though. I think Perinelli and Frantti will start over her. In some other teams she defenitly could have been a starter...Yeah it's weird, she left Busto cause she wanted to play more, I guess maybe there's going to be some alternation with her and Frantti?

Chieri just announced Villani https://www.chieri76.it/france…e-mutua-fenera-chieri-76/

Rumor about Fawcett in Bergamo next season. I don't believe it's true, because she anounced her retirement
I don't believe either. The rumor started because yesterday the president talked about the roster, and said two italians MB and two american players are about to sign. One is Lanier as talked already, the other is speculated to be an opposite (it's the only role still uncovered by the rumors), so now they're just naming whatever US opposite comes to mind
