Ongaro has been part of Benetton’s coaching setup since 2016 and will continue to guide the forwards and the scrum.

Ongaro began his rugby career with Casale before joining Benetton Rugby in 1998. During his time as a player he helped the team win the Scudetto five times along with an Italian Cup and an Italian Super Cup. After playing abroad with Saracens in the English Premiership for four seasons Ongaro returned to Italy to play for Aironi from 2010 to 2012.

    On the international stage Ongaro earned 81 caps for Italy between 2000 and 2012 playing in multiple Six Nations tournaments and three Rugby World Cups. He then moved into coaching joining Benetton in 2016 after a stint with Zebre and working with the Japanese national team.

    “I am happy to extend my contract for another two seasons and I thank the club for the demonstration of trust,” said Fabio Ongaro. “We embarked on this path 8 years ago, demonstrating constant growth. And it is precisely with this awareness that we look to the future, certain that it will be necessary to continue working to improve and achieve ever higher standards”

    During his time with Benetton Rugby Ongaro has been part of the team’s notable successes including reaching the Guinness PRO14 Final Series winning the Rainbow Cup and helping the team reach the Challenge Cup semi-finals in 2023.

    General manager Antonio Pavanello said of the news: “Satisfied with what we have done in recent years, we are happy to confirm Fabio at the helm of our scrum for the next two years. This renewal reflects our confidence in his work and the desire to continue with continuity on the path of growth undertaken to make this decisive phase of the game one of our strengths.”

    GrayHat Hacks Contractor Reclaimed My BTC in Hours

    Mid last year, I thought I had stumbled upon a golden opportunity when I joined an online investment group promising substantial returns through rare NFTs. I was thrilled to invest my 1.5 BTC, valued at approximately $90,000 at the time, toward a significant venture. The group’s website appeared polished, featuring impressive testimonials and a “secure escrow” system for transactions. Confident in their credibility, I transferred my BTC to their designated wallet, anticipating the delivery of a valuable NFT. However, days stretched into weeks with only vague excuses, and then the site disappeared entirely. My wallet was empty, and the realization hit me hard: I had been duped by a sophisticated scam, losing the savings I had earmarked for my dream music studio.

    In a state of panic and despair, I searched online for solutions and discovered GrayHat Hacks. Their team responded promptly. They outlined their approach, explaining that they would employ blockchain forensics to track my BTC, despite the scammers’ use of a mixing service to obscure the trail. Their team meticulously analyzed the transaction ledger, utilizing advanced algorithms to group wallets and detect patterns. After several hours of diligent effort, they successfully retrieved my BTC. Their transparency throughout the process was reassuring.

    That 1.5 BTC represents more than just currency; it’s the foundation of my music studio vision, and GrayHat Hacks restored it when I had nearly lost all hope. For anyone caught up in a dubious investment scheme, they offer an invaluable service. Their expertise in blockchain technology, paired with genuine client support, sets them apart.
