After the disappointment of the recent European championships, where Italy came fourth to Netherlands, Serbia and champs Turkey, star volleyball player Paolo Egonis has agreed with the Azzurri management that she won’t take part in upcoming pre-Olympic matches in order to rest.
Egonu, 24, a Nigerian-Italian from Cittadella near Padua in northeastern Italy, “while reaffirming her attachment to the Azzurri jersey, has agreed with the coach and president Manfredi not to participate in the pre-Olympic tournament in order to take a rest,” said the federation.
Coach Davide Mazzanti is set to name his squad without Egonu in it. (ANSA).
