Gianmarco Pozzecco comes full circle as he steers Italy to the final phase of the FIBA World Cup for the first time since the 1998 edition, where he played point guard for the Azzurri
MANILA, Philippines – It has been so long since the last time Italy reached the quarterfinals of the FIBA World Cup that head coach Gianmarco Pozzecco still played for the Azzurri.
It was a full circle moment for Pozzecco, who played point guard for Italy in the 1998 edition where the squad finished sixth.“There is is nothing to compare. Because at that moment, It was totally different,” said Pozzecco, also a part of the Italian crew that won silver in the 2004 Athens Olympics.“What they did tonight – and what they did not just tonight – in my opinion, you cannot even compare with no national team that Italy had in its history.
