When you come here you should have a great desire to be part of the family. Virtus is the most important team in Italy and it is not the same as the others“, Massimo Zanetti initially stated.

Regarding Sergio Scariolo: “I consider Scariolo an excellent coach and I defended him to the end. But, I could not forget the discussions with Real Madrid and Raptors and I believe that the team is strong again this year and is built by Scariolo. Last October he wanted to leave Milos Teodosic and Marko Belinelli out of the team, as he considered them quite old. This year’s budget will be lower, but it was not my choice. Also, we should not forget the investments we made in the women’s team».
