Last Sunday (28th) was a lot of fun for Nardó (ITA) fans, especially striker Lucas Dambros. The Brazilian scored one of the goals in the 2-1 victory over Cavese, in the Italian Serie D playoff, a result that gave the team access to Serie C next season.
“There are no words to describe what the cast is experiencing in the city. We are still celebrating access. The club’s objective was just to stay in the division and we achieved something much bigger. Now it’s time to enjoy the well-deserved vacation and plan the squad for a challenging season”, said Dambros.
This season, Lucas Dambros played 34 games and scored 10 goals, two of them during the playoffs.

Palaces, beautiful restaurants and the warmth of the people
Nardò is a medium-sized town in the Salento region of southern Puglia, which has an excellent restaurant infrastructure, as well as a historic center full of small palaces. The approximately 40,000 inhabitants, including Lucas Dambros, enjoy this calm and refinement on a daily basis.
Well adapted, not only to the city, but to the country, the Brazilian is very grateful to Italy, which, according to him, has provided him with everything he has achieved so far. “Life here is wonderful, incredible, historic places, we never get tired of discovering them. This is one of the reasons that lead me to think about staying in Italian football for a long time,” he said.
In addition to this reality, another positive factor found by the striker was the fans. “Passionate and polite”, was how Dambros described the Nardó supporters of the team during games and on the streets of the city.
Lucas has Italian citizenship, which allows him to defend the colors of the Italian national team, if he is called up. At the age of 26 and with a long way to go in football, he leaves that possibility open. “It would be an honor, who knows.”
