Vero Volley Monza fans can look forward to another season of Fernando Kreling’s (aka “Cachopa”) brilliance on the court. The accomplished Brazilian setter, currently engaged with his national team at the 2023 VNL, is ready for his next adventure in Italy’s SuperLega, and a first-ever stint in a European cup, the 2024 CEV Challenge Cup.
Despite a challenging first year marred by an early-season injury, Kreling is set to showcase his impressive skills more consistently in the upcoming games. His talents were evident when he returned to the field in the Monza-Verona match, continuing through the Playoff Final for 5th place victory against Perugia.
Kreling, set to wear jersey number 14 for the Vero Volley Monza next season, is a decorated player both at the club and national levels. He boasts an impressive track record, including 23 titles with Sada Cruzeiro, three world club championships, and several national titles with Brazil. Additionally, he has clinched individual honors as the best setter of the World Club Championship 2021 and the South American Championships across multiple age categories.
Known for his excellent game vision and golden touch, “Cachopa” has honed his skills since starting his volleyball journey in Caxias do Sul at age 12, before moving to Sada Cruzeiro in 2014.
