Coach Bonitta Excludes Valentina Diouf

HEARTBREAKING!!!

Just 2 days before the World Olympic Qualification Tournament, Coach Bonitta reveals that Valentina Diouf is NOT on his final roster.

The 23 year old Diouf has been one of Italy’s star players since the Olympic cycle started. The opposite hiter has also been dubbed by the media as one of the “FUTURE PLAYERS” for Italian volleyball.

Coach Bonitta will now rely on his 2 EXPERIENCED opposite hitters: Nadia Centoni and Serena Ortolani.

Below is the Italy’s Final Roster:

Setters:
Alessia Orro
Ofelia Malinov

Opposite Hitters:
Nadia Centoni
Serena Ortolani

Middle Blockers:
Cristina Chirichella
Martina Guiggi
Anna Danesi

Libero:
Monica De Gennaro
Immacolata Sirressi

Outside Hitters:
Francesca Piccinini
Antonella Del Core
Paola Egonu
Alessia Gennari
Miriam Sylla

The experience and leadership of Francesca Piccinini, Del Core and Guiggi will be valuable to the Italian squad who will fight for a spot in the Olynpics against 7 other teams and make their 5th consecutive Olympic appearance.

Good luck ladies!
