ANDLia Viviani will be team manager of all the national teams, Roberto Amadio coach of the road and Marco Villa leading the time trials and the women’s track, with an Olympic twist. For Viviani, fresh from a new world title and farewell to two wheels, it is a new adventure with a blue twist. “I am happy with the trust placed in me by the Federal Council and I hope to be up to the task assigned – comments the 36 year old champion from Veneto – The Federation has been my home as an athlete for many years, this role will be a challenge for me but above all an opportunity to grow and learn as a manager”.
The new coach of the Azzurri Roberto Amadio, 62 years old Portogruaro, already in the FCI staff since 2021 as team manager of the national teams and a technician with great experience with teams like Liquigas: “It is a great honor for me to lead the national team – he explains – Let’s start again from the excellent placings of this season and from several young people who are maturing. I thank CF for their trust”. Handover with Marco Villa: “I accepted the role of elite road coach knowing that it would be for a year – he specifies – The time necessary to reorganize the sector with a broader perspective than a single season. On several occasions I recalled how time trial and track were important commitments that deserve the right commitment. The 2028 Olympics are not that far away and it is right to focus all our attention on these two strategic sectors.”
