Mandorlini out, Beretta in Monday 12 November, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coach Andrea Mandorlini has left Siena by mutual consent and is replaced by last season’s boss Mario Beretta.

The Tuscans have endured a miserable start to the campaign and Sunday’s 3-2 defeat at the hands of local rivals and fellow strugglers Livorno proved to be the final straw.

Robur general manager Giovanni Lombardi Stronati had indicated that the club would keep faith with the struggling Mandorlini, but a statement this evening indicates that the ex-Cagliari man has agreed to leave.

“The club would like to express its warmest regards and to thank Mandorlini for all his work, but from tomorrow the side will be under the control of Beretta,” the declaration reads.

Beretta guided the Bianconeri to survival on the last day of last season, but he chose to leave the Stadio Artemio Franchi just days after the end of the campaign.

The details of the ex-Chievo man’s new contract will be released in the coming days.
