Itas Trentino Trento will be reinforced by new American international Gabriel Garcia Fernandez. The former Puerto Rican national team opposite, who made his debut for the US national team during the 2024 Volleyball Nations League, signed a two-year contract with the club that won the Italian SuperLega Credem Banca 2023-2024 regular season, but then finished below expectations, in fourth place, while celebrating the continental club title in Europe’s CEV Champions League. This way, with Luxembourgish star Kamil Rychicki also staying with the team, Trentino will have two high-level options in the opposite position on the squad.

“Gabi Garcia is an opposite of great quality. In the Italian championship he has repeatedly demonstrated his value and, after the season spent in Padua, he strongly wanted to come to Trento. This makes us immensely happy, because it gives the idea of a player who wants to grow. I am convinced that he will be able to offer us a notable contribution and have a satisfying year. From a technical point of view, he has two really important fundamentals - attack and serve.” Fabio Soli, head coach of Itas Trentino Trento
