“I am very happy with the roster we created, it was the roster we wanted in our ideas, considering our economic possibilities. We did an excellent job with Federico and the club.”
Words and music by coach Nenad Markovic after completing the roster for the 2024-2025 season.
“We started with players who were functional to the Sassari project, who really wanted to play for us, who could get in tune with the fans. People before players, guys with work ethic, who had already demonstrated their skills in other teams.
We have identified very specific characteristics, we have experienced players, talented players, team players, it won’t be easy, we must immediately have a clear objective of becoming a group as soon as possible, of creating chemistry, of being ready to present ourselves at the BCL qualification round at our best.
Bibbins is a leadership player who knows how to create advantage for the team with the ball in his hands, he is a fighter, a guy who can lead the group. He has already played with Halilovic, who I know very well, an example on and off the pitch, a player who can give us mentality. He is the captain of Bosnia, he is an example, while Sokolowski is a player who has shown that he is capable of doing many things that the team needs, he has experience. We looked at a very physical player who fit with these choices, Fobbs has great physique, talent, room for improvement.
We wanted a group of Italians to start from, in addition to Cappelletti, Udom and Tambone are going in this direction, professionals, guys who know the championship well, who want to grow further and do it with Sassari. Just as they want to grow and improve by working on their potential Veronesi, Vincini and Trucchetti. We thought about Renfro as a long, who has all the opposite characteristics to Halilovic, who gives us great athleticism, physicality, can be a defensive factor and in giving depth to the pick and roll”.
