Molducci lost the battle with cancer that hit him two years ago and gradually weakened his physical health. A 65-year-old Italian expert spent his last days in native Cervia, where he was carrying out treatment against the disease.

After commanding several clubs in his home country – some in the second division, some in top-flight (Consar Ravenna and Top Volley Cisterna among others) – Molducci made a step which was a turning point in his career. He took over the bench of Spain’s Unicaja Costa de Almería in 2004 and won the championship title already in the first season as a head coach there.

After a return to Italy, he left a huge mark in Querzoli S.Volley Forlì, promoting them from the third division to SuperLega during the course of 5 years. Then, Molducci started his second term at the helm of Almería, which lasted from 2011 to 2018 and during which he helped the club won 8 trophies.

After only one season as a head coach of UD Ibiza Ushuaïa Volley, Molducci was forced to leave the post for health reasons – in December 2019.
