Terminerà nella giornata di domani, 27 Settembre, il IX Congresso EHF, che si sta svolgendo nella capitale austriaca Vienna.
Nella giornata odierna, intanto, sono state assegnate le cariche per il quadriennio olimpico che condurrà direttamente ai Giochi di Londra 2012.
Due gli italiani eletti: Marco Trespidi, noto allenatore nel settore femminile ed attualmente in Norvegia, e Ralf Dejaco.
Il primo, veneto, è stato inserito, in qualità di Addetto ad Eventi e Competizioni, nella nuova Commissione Beach Handball. Per il secondo invece, è arrivata la conferma nel ruolo di Tesoriere, all’interno Comitato Esecutivo della EHF.
Queste le parole soddisfatte del presidente federale, Francesco Purromuto, riportate nel comunicato della FIGH:
“E’ un ulteriore successo per la politica federale in campo internazionale. Ciò contribuisce a rafforzare le opportunità per il movimento della pallamano italiana con prestigiosi incarichi ai propri dirigenti”.
Di seguito, invece, PallamanoItalia riporta la lista delle cariche, tratte dal nuovissimo sito EHF:
