After the complete overhaul of the Board of Directors, the plot twists at Germani Brescia are apparently not over yet.

As reported by BresciaOggi, it seems that Coach Cotelli’s team has submitted a registration application for the upcoming FIBA Champions League. This is an unexpected turning point, especially considering that the registration deadline is tonight at midnight. Here is what BresciaOggi writes about the matter:

“It is a summer of plot twists at Germani Brescia: following the overhaul of the board of directors, today the club from San Zeno sul Naviglio submitted a ‘last-minute’ registration application for next season’s Champions League (the final deadline being midnight tonight). A surprise move, considering that Germani had repeatedly hinted at a lack of interest in European competitions. This situation may also alter transfer market prospects, given that up until now Coach Matteo Cotelli had hit a real brick wall when seeking high-level players, who are more drawn to the continental stage rather than just the domestic competition.”
