The Maccabi Yaadim Tel Aviv volleyball team has signed Brazilian contractor Leonardo Nascimento, known as Leoziño, as their third foreign player from Brazil. He joins fellow Brazilians Danilo Galinski and Renato Santos, who were recruited earlier this summer. This marks the first time in the team's history, since the league allowed three foreign players, that all foreign recruits hail from the same country.
Leoziño, 31, stands at 2.01 meters tall and arrives from Turkish club Spor Kulubu Istanbul. He has previously played for PAOK Thessaloniki in Greece, Montpellier in France, and other top leagues in Brazil and Turkey. He will replace Nikita Axioutine, who was released due to injury after signing in the summer.
Gal Galili, the coach of Maccabi Yaadim Tel Aviv, expressed optimism about the new signing. "Leoziño is a player with good abilities and European experience. He is a contractor who will contribute to us beyond offense, also in other dimensions of the game. We will need some time until he gets into full playing shape, but we expect him to have a significant part in the team this season," Galili stated.
Leoziño shared his enthusiasm after signing: "I am very happy to be here and to join Maccabi Yaadim Tel Aviv. I was warmly welcomed by the team and staff, and I hope to contribute to the team in our work to win and achieve our goals on the court."
