“Joining Venezia FC is a source of great excitement and pride for me. I can’t wait to step onto the pitch in front of my new fans and feel their passion for such a historic club with a unique charm. I will give everything I have to make this fanbase proud of the team. I chose Venezia because from the very beginning I sensed a solid, ambitious club with excellent facilities. Representing an extraordinary city like Venice is a real honour. The team plays high-quality football and I can’t wait to put myself at the manager’s disposal to start this new journey together.”
