Gigi Datome's adventure in blue continues. No longer on the parquet because he retired after the World Cup, but with a new role: starting from February he will be the new Head of Delegation of the men's national team.
A natural outlet for the winger from Olbia who was captain of Italbasket for 10 years and holds the record for appearances in blue with 323 matches from the Under 14 national team to the senior one where he scored 1,766 points.
His debut will take place on February 22nd in Pesaro in the match against Turkey valid for qualification for EuroBasket 2025.
After his retirement, Olimpia Milano also offered Datome an important role, that of Olimpia Ambassador, ambassador of the most successful club in Italy.
