Just minutes after winning the Coppa Italia with Unipol Bologna against Nettuno, manager Marco Nanni announced that he will not return as manager of Fortitudo next year. He already announced his decision to the board shortly before the start of the Italian Baseball Series, which Bologna lost in four games against ASD Rimini. Nanni coached Bologna ten seasons, winning the Italian Baseball League title twice and claiming three European Cup titles. However this year the Coppa Italia is the lone title for Fortitudo after losing the European Champions Cup Final to Curacao Neptunus Rotterdam and the Italian Series to Rimini.
