Jastrzębski Węgiel pleased his fans shortly before the match against PGE Skra Bełchatów. The club from the Silesian Voivodeship announced that one of the team’s stars, Benjamin Toniutti, had extended the contract.
Despite the fact that PlusLiga is one of the strongest leagues in Europe and the world, keeping the biggest stars in it is not always easy. However, this stunt was succeeded by Jastrzebski Wengel, who broke the good news right before the meeting with PGE Skra Belchatow. Then we learned that Benjamin Toniutti, one of its leaders, will remain in Marcelo Mendez’s team longer. As it turned out, this was the only good news for the team from Silesia, because they unexpectedly lost 2:3.
Benjamin Toniutti remains at Jastrzębski Węgiel
The playmaker is one of the best volleyball players in the world in terms of players in this position. He has been Jastrzembski’s player since the 2021/22 season and has already won one Polish vice-championship and two Polish Super Cups. For many years, he also played for the French national team, with which he won the European Championship, won the World League, and in 2020 won gold at the Tokyo Olympics.
A post on Yastrzhebsky’s website quoted the Frenchman himself as explaining why he decided to renew his contract. - The 2023/2024 season will be very important, because it is also the year of the Olympic Games in Paris. It is important for me to spend the season leading up to such an event in a good club that always wants to win. This is an additional factor that will definitely help me to be in the best shape for the Olympics, Toniutti explained.
In addition, the quarterback said that he feels very good in Poland and Jastrzembski, because he feels a lot of support from the fans, and the club where he plays is well organized and professional. In addition, he feels that with the Silesian team he is able to fight for trophies. It is possible that Jastrzembski will win the Champions League in the 2022/23 season. Currently, Toniutti and his partners are in the semi-final stage, where they will face Halkbank Ankara.
