Simone Giannelli (born 9 August 1996) is an Italian volleyball player, a member of the Italy men's national volleyball team and Italian club Sir Safety Perugia, silver medalist of the 2015 World Cup, bronze medalist of the 2015 European Championship, and gold medalist of the 2021 Men's European Volleyball Championship and the 2022 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship.[1]
Giannelli had proved himself as an up-and-coming star within volleyball by winning the Finals MVP award in the 2014-15 season with Trentino Volley in the Italian Volleyball League after defeating Modena Volley. He then followed the trend up by taking the starting 7 in the national team, despite competition by players such as Dragan Travica, Michele Baranowicz, and Marco Falaschi.[2]
In his first year in the national team, Giannelli won a silver medal at the 2015 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Cup and a bronze medal at the 2015 Men's European Volleyball Championship, where he was also awarded the prize for best setter, the youngest in the history of the tournament.[3]
Giannelli is the only player to have earned an MVP award at both an FIVB World Championship and an FIVB Club World Championship.[4]
