Aquila Basket Trento is already working to reinforce its roster ahead of the 2024-25 season both in the LBA and in the BKT EuroCup, announcing the arrivals of Jordan Bayehe and Andrea Pecchia.
In the 2023-24 FIBA Europe Cup with New Basket Brindisi, instead, he had 6.3 points and 6.0 rebounds per game, while he averaged 8.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per encounter in the Italian league, where his team was relegated to the second division.
“[Jordan Bayehe] is a player of great athleticism and energy, I was impressed by his desire to grow and get involved”, Paolo Galbiati expressed with satisfaction about the Cameroonian center’s arrival. He’s expected to play with his national team in the FIBA OQT in Riga, Latvia.

Alongside Jordan Bayehe, Dolomiti Energia Trentino also announced the arrival of another player coming from a direct opponent in the LBA: Andrea Pecchia came to the black-and-white side to help get better next season.
Averaging 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game, he helped Vanoli Cremona avoid relegation in the 2023-24 season in the Italian league. Being coached by Paolo Galbiati in both Olimpia Milano’s youth system and Vanoli Cremona, the Italian small forward will find himself once again under the Alps.
“He is a guy who has grown steadily throughout his career thanks to his ability to accept challenges and overcome his limits with dedication and determination. I am convinced he perfectly embodies the “Aquila spirit“, the head coach commented about his addition.
