SCANDICCI — Savino Del Bene Scandicci has confirmed Linda Nwakalor at middle blocker for a fourth consecutive season. The renewal gives the Tuscan club another point of continuity in the center of the net and keeps an established Italian player inside the roster project for the new campaign.
The decision also strengthens the identity of a squad that has built much of its recent competitiveness around stability in key roles. For Nwakalor, the confirmation means another year in an environment she already knows well, with the club keeping a central player who has become part of its technical structure.
The women’s Serie A2 market also produced a compact but significant group of moves. Offanengo is targeting Joly, Costa Volpino is moving with Populini, and Monviso has completed its outside-hitter department with Bosso. The three updates point to a market phase in which clubs are still working on specific roles rather than broad announcements, especially in the wing positions.
For Monviso, completing the outside-hitter department is one of the clearest signals of squad planning in the women’s block. Offanengo and Costa Volpino, meanwhile, add two more names to a Serie A2 picture that is becoming increasingly active as clubs move from early confirmations to targeted arrivals.
SuperLega
MILAN — Allianz Milano has chosen Santiago Orduna for the setting role. The Argentine-born Italian setter arrives as an experienced playmaker for a SuperLega project that is being rebuilt around new technical references and a roster designed to remain competitive at the top level.
Orduna brings a long Italian career and a strong understanding of the championship. For Milano, the move addresses one of the most important positions on court: the player who will manage rhythm, side-out distribution and the balance between attackers over the course of a demanding season.
CIVITANOVA — Cucine Lube Civitanova has also added another confirmation to its technical staff, keeping Francesco Oleni in the group. The decision gives continuity behind the bench and preserves one of the staff references around the first team as the club prepares the next stage of its technical work.
In a SuperLega market often dominated by player moves, the Lube update is a reminder that staff continuity remains part of roster construction. Keeping a familiar technical profile can help maintain working methods, training rhythm and internal knowledge through the transition into the new season.
A2 Credem Banca
BRESCIA — In the men’s second division, Brescia has looked to Spain for a new outside-hitter option, bringing in Francisco Iribarne. The move strengthens the outside-hitter department and gives the club an international profile for the next A2 Credem Banca campaign.
The signing fits into a wider A2 market in which clubs are trying to combine experience, physical presence and role balance before pre-season. For Brescia, Iribarne becomes a new piece in the wing rotation and one of the names to follow as the team takes shape.
PORTO VIRO — Delta Volley Porto Viro has restarted from captain Matteo Sperandio, who renewed for an eighth consecutive season with the club and a third year with the captain’s role. The middle blocker, born in 1992, remains one of the symbols of the Polesine side and one of the reference points of the new cycle.
Sperandio is also the club’s all-time top scorer in Serie A, with 834 points in 179 matches. Last season he stood out above all at the net, finishing as the best player in the category for average blocks per set thanks to 43 winning blocks in 51 sets. His renewal gives Porto Viro a strong continuity signal at the start of the market and keeps leadership, experience and local identity inside the squad.
