FOUNDERS

FABIO FOGNINI

Fabio Fognini’s purpose is our heart. He is one of the most loved talents of the Italian fans. Class of 1987, he was born in Sanremo but grew up in Arma di Taggia, where he joined the local tennis club.

At 32, he became the oldest player to enter the Top 10 for the first time and the first Italian in the Top 10 since Barazzutti in 1979.

STEFANO DEALESSI

DAO has brought great Italian sports champions to the top of the media ranks. Now it has more than fifty great athletes on its roster.

Stefano is without a doubt one of the most innovative people in talent management in Italy.

“Without false modesty, we know that we have reinvented a firm and winning idea of sports and communication.”

GIUSEPPE MARZO

Giuseppe’s expertise and passion are Back to Next’s engine. He worked as an executive producer and author for several years. He is also Fabio Fognini’s media manager and dear friend.
Thanks to their friendship, the idea of a new agency that helps young guys to become professional athletes was born.
