Overview
In the season 2019–20, Virtus Bologna aimed to return to the highest level of the European Basketball. However, the season was hit by the coronavirus pandemic that compelled the federation to suspend and later cancel the competition without assigning the title to anyone.[1] Virtus Bologna ended the championship in 1st position, but the title was not assigned. After a few weeks, also EuroCup season ended, where Bologna had reached the quarter-finals.
In May 2020, Virtus signed Amar Alibegović, a young power forward from Virtus Roma and of the most talented young players of the championship,[2] while in June, the club signed Amedeo Tessitori, a center of the national team from Treviso Basket,[3] and Awudu Abass from Leonessa Brescia; Abass is a member of the national team and one of the most prominent Italian small forwards.[4] The club completed the roster with Josh Adams, a point guard from Unicaja Málaga.[5]
