Official: Trento completed its roster with Flavio Gualberto

The "Seleção" national player moved from "Perugia" to "Trentino Volley"

Brazilian middle blocker Flavio Resende Gualberto will join the starting six of the new European club champion Trento – the news comes from the official website of Trentinotrentinovolley.it.The Brazilian national, known throughout the volleyball world simply as Flavio, possesses all the qualities of a top-class middle blocker. The upcoming season will be his fourth in the SuperLega Credem Banca, in which he debuted in 2021 with "Vibo Valentia" before moving a year later to Perugia, with whom he won a quadruple in the last ten months – the Club World Championship, the Scudetto, the Italian Cup, and the Super Cup of the country.

"Flavio Gualberto is one of the strongest players in his position in the world" – emphasized the new coachFabio Soli. "Certainly, I am not discovering this today, the facts confirm it. We welcome him to Trento with open arms, convinced that he will be able to guarantee us quality not only in terms of matches but also throughout the training week, all of which will allow him to quickly become part of the collective, which is very dedicated to work. From a technical characteristics perspective, he is a complete middle blocker who has his best weapons in attack and block."

He will be the eighth Brazilian in the more than twenty-year history of the men's section of "Trentino Volley" after Heller, Nascimento, Riad, Raphael, Visotto, Eder Carbonera, and Lucarelli and will wear the "yellow-blue" jersey with number 23, unused so far by any other player in Trento. These are the same two numbers he wears on his shoulders when he wears the "Seleção" kit, with which he will play in his first Olympics in a few weeks.
