Siena  News

Sienas season is finished. Terry Manifold is left to consider his future as his team lose to Brescia at the first hurdle.

Terry .

We gave it al we had, we even scored first but, we weren't good enough.

Brescia deserve the win and we wish them all the best for the match against Atalanta.

PRESS.

What went wrong this evening you were so positive this morning?

Terry.

Not sure really we certainly went into the match to win it. Tactically Tom had the edge tonight. I can't blame the lads I thought they performed well.  It did highlight the problem I have been trying to solve for a long while now, that of adding a couple of class players. Siena need an experienced centre back and a Playmaker to organise and maximise the chances we are beginning to make. The future cant' be bad for this side given that sort of injection.

PRESS.

What now then Terry?

Terry.

I am going to sit down with the Chairman over the next couple of days and discuss the future. I do still have a another season left on my contract. I am not going to rush into making a hasty decision it will be a carefully thought out career move. Siena certainly deserve more and if staying here will achieve that, it is still an option. They may not want me.

PRESS.

Will you be putting a side out this Friday?

Terry.

Yes if I can find a suitable friendly, we will start the planning for Sienas next campaign.

Johndaniel Jaques is believed to still be in Italy as contract talks have stalled with an unknown club.

Yves Vanneste has arrived in Italy for talks about an exit from Levante a year after arriving in Spain.

Levante fans have been left baffled after manager Yves Vanneste rejected a move to Reggina despite telling the Spanish clubs board he wanted to quit the club this summer.

PRICE RALLIES TROOPS

Manager Dale Price spoke today ahead of his sides Seria B play-off final against Brescia

Italian Sports News (ISN) Mr Price you and your team are here in Rome for the match tonight how are you all feeling?

DP We are feeling good we have had a good couple of days training after I give the lads Tuesday off to rest after the semi final win. Me and the team got to the capital yesterday after noon so we would have time to relax and prepare mentally for tonights game.

ISN Many are putting you as favourites tonight is that how you see it?

DP No I dont Quite the opposite I feel that Brescia are the favourites.  They were a Seria A side last season and were piped by many myself included to go right back up at the start of the season. They have a very good side that will always score goals our job will be to try and stop that happening the first goal tonight will be very important though and I wouldnt be surprised if this went on to pens.

ISN How do you feel fans will react to the news that Daniel Carvalho will be leaving in the very near future?

DP Hopefully they will see that Daniel leaving is for the good of the club.  We have sorted a deal out that will help Atalanta next season no matter which division we are in. We were in need of a good goal keeper and a good striker and the deal that was offered to us by the Roma manager was a very good one, Ximun is a top keeper and one we are very proud to welcome to the club, James Vaughan is a player that we have had our eye on for a while now he has had a very successful loan spell at Athletico Madrid and we wish him all the best in the Europa League final tonight so he can come to us with confidence on the back of that cup win but one thing that really swung the deal for me was the opportunity to have Cutugno Gaetano back on loan to us for another season he is a young man that we have been very impressed with this season and we hope he could have another good season next year.

ISN Mr Price this is your 4^th time in the play-offs how would winning this compare to your other times.

DP Well as I have only managed to win the final once back in my first season with Norwich this will rank very highly.  Last seasons disappointment with Atalanta in the play-offs was because we were just not ready for it and in a way Im glad we lost to ascoli as I dont think I would have got together the squad I have before me today.

ISN Mr Price its been a pleasure as always good luck for your match tonight and hopefully we can catch up tomorrow to get your post game thoughts

DP Yep hopefully I will be able to talk to you as a new Seria A manager

Simon Jenkins has snubbed an approach by Real Madrid as a fading power in Spanish football.

 Real Valladolid fans have hailed Simon Jenkins after they retained their European Cup trophy.

 John Brady has warned Chelsea's rivals that they will bounce back stronger than ever next season, reclaiming their titles.

 The Genoa board has denied manager Callum Ward would have been sacked if they had finished the season trophy-less.

 The Atalanta chairman has rejected an approach from another club for their manager refusing the compensation offered as 'insulting'.

 Wigan are desperate to appoint experienced Ascoli boss Keith Morris following their relegation from the Championship.

 Next: Sunday 25th September

Jamie Walker spoke exclusively to Arsenal TV this weekend at the end of a long hard season for his young Gunners.
"This season has been a really big step up for a lot of the players. We are a very inexperienced team and have a lot of young players in their first season of professional football still and they all had to play against some of the best players in world football in this league. We were never going to challenge the big teams above us but to hang on to fourth was important for all of us and it gives us a good platform to build from next season. We have so many talented young players I have to sit down with them all and pick the players who are talented enough for Arsenal and the ones who can still make a great career out of football at other teams. Real Murcia are a club desperate for young talent so a young player not making it at Arsenal is not the end of the road for them and I think that is important for them not to lose hope."
News broke yesterday about an approach from Real Madrid so Jamie Walker told the fans where he stood on the offer.
"I was approached by Real Madrid. It is a big club going through tough times. I have always been open about my time at Arsenal and the moment the chairman no longer sees the future of Arsenal in the same way I see it I will leave. This is a project for me and right now I have no burning ambition to win any trophies. If I can build Arsenal into the biggest richest club in the world turning over the most money every season and with a squad full of players brought through our own youth system then I will have achieved my goals here. It was for these reasons I respectfully rejected the offer from Real Madrid earlier today. They are offering a lot of money to get a new manager in but I have been at teams who demanded trophies and I have won them. Arsenal is something new and exciting still."

Reggina release statement on Jaques

Reggina have stated that they no longer are in negotiations with the former Cadiz manager JD Jaques, and following reports on him being seen in England the Birmingham Mail have reported that he has been seen in the Midlands. This has fuelled speculation that one of the clubs in the Birmingham area has been in talks with him. Mr Jaques has not spoken to the press yet but his spokesman says that he may be available to comment tomorrow.

"Fletcher done good"

How pleased are you with the way Andy has managed Napoli?

"I got Andy in because I thought he was a manager with huge potential but had been passed over for a bigger job. Getting a good manager in the bottom league is tough so from day one Napoli were thankful for him giving us the time of day. He has worked patiently with what was available and the money Ive put in has been spent in the right way building to a brighter future. The success this season is a sign of all that hard work starting to work"

What does the future hold for Andy?

"I took the time to talk with him in the last two weeks and he will be staying with us for another season if not longer. Next season he has the chance to really look up the table and not worry about the drop. At the end of the season Ive agreed to give him the chance to leave if he wants to move on to a new challenge because he could have won attention from a huge team by then and for all the hard work he has done for my team I wouldnt want to stand in his way"

What can Napoli realistically do next season?

"The top two places are probably off limits and AC Milan and Lazio are so strongly supported too but below that I think everything is up for grabs. There will be no pressure on Andy next season with targets but I really think he can look as high as fifth place and that would be such an achievement from where this all began"
