Pallacanestro Cant\u00f9 has lost Walter De Raffaele: the coach has exercised his option to terminate his contract with Acqua S.Bernardo without penalty, as announced by the club.<\/p>\n
The decision marks a new chapter for the Brianza-based club, fresh off its return to Serie A. According to Sportando, De Raffaele is expected to continue his career in Japan, in the new Premier B League launching this year, thus leaving the Cant\u00f9 bench following the promotion.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn recent weeks,\u201d commented President Roberto Allievi, \u201cthe club has begun planning for the 2026\u20132027 season with the goal of achieving further athletic improvement, while also working on a proposal aimed at encouraging the coach to stay. We understand, however, his decision to seize this important opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cant\u00f9 now faces a process of technical and managerial restructuring. The club will need to redefine the role of general manager and identify a new head coach to lead the team into the upcoming season.<\/p>\n
This marks a major turning point for Pallacanestro Cant\u00f9, which must quickly rebuild its organizational structure in preparation for its return to the top division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
