Francesca-Piccinini
Three months ago, legendary Italian player Piccinini decided to retire. The seven-time CEV Champions League winner announced the end of her professional career in a live program. In some interviews that she gave to Italian media, later on, the 40-year-old Piccinini left a small door open for returning to playing volleyball, mostly regretting not winning an Olympic medal.
La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that, a few days ago, the legendary outside hitter has returned to training! She is doing it at Club Italia Crai (the second division team) in Milan. As the same source reported, Piccinini wants to earn a place in the list of Italy National Team for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Recall, that she didn’t play since May when she ended the season with Igor Gorgonzola Novara.
