Já em solo brasileiro, o ponteiro se mostra muito animado para o início dos trabalhos em seu novo clube. “Há vários anos que me interessa a oportunidade de jogar no Brasil. Nunca tinha chegado a um acordo anteriormente, o que acabou me afastando daqui. Mas sempre tive essa vontade de disputar a Superliga brasileira, e agora finalmente estou aqui”, diz.

Conte stands at 6′ 6″ and plays outside hitter for the Argentinian National Team as well as various club teams. Professionally, he’s played for teams in Spain, Italy, Russia, Poland and for the last two seasons, China. Conte has won numerous titles with his professional teams including the 2014 Polish Championship, 2016 Polish Cup, and the 2017 and 2018 Chinese League Championships. He has been equally as successful with Argentina’s National Team including the 2015 Pan American Games gold medal. While leading his teams to success, he has also garnered many individual accolades: 2016 Polish Cup Best Receiver, 2015 Pan American Games MVP, 2015 CEV Champions League Best Outside Spiker, and 2014 Polish SuperCup MVP.

At Taubate, Conte will be reunited with fellow Argentian National Team member, Nicolas Uriarte. Uriarte played in Brazil for the past two seasons, albeit with Sada Cruzeiro where he won the 2017 FIVB World Club Championships and the 2018 South American Club Championship. Uriarte and Conte will be joining Brazilian superstars Lucas Saatkamp, Leandro Visotto and Douglas Souza for the upcoming season.
