Riccardo Pittis Announces Candidacy for Treviso Basket Presidency

Former Benetton captain and current club board member Riccardo Pittis has put himself forward as a candidate in the Treviso Basket presidential election. According to local press reports, the club's board will name Matteo Contento's successor tomorrow.

Pittis wished success to whoever is chosen and said he stands on equal footing with the other candidates. He spoke very positively of the work done by outgoing president Contento. Pittis also said he hopes that the criticism from the stands during Contento's tenure will be replaced by loud applause.

Speaking about the team, currently second in the league, Pittis stressed that seeing themselves as strong would be a serious mistake. In his view, the keys to success will be humility, determination and a willingness to work together.
