Beretta rediscovers Siena Tuesday 13 November, 2007

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

Mario Beretta is back on the Siena bench following Andrea Mandorlini’s dismissal, but sees it as a totally new experience.

“In a certain sense it is like starting from scratch, but that is definitely not something that frightens me,” said the Coach.

“We need to work very hard and with great determination, knowing that the road to safety is dangerous and difficult, but at the end of it all we’ll find such a satisfying prize.”

Beretta had already rescued the club from relegation last term, but was sacked during the summer and replaced by former Atalanta boss Mandorlini.

With just one win, six draws and five defeats, the 3-2 home loss to local rivals Livorno at the weekend proved the final straw.

“I didn’t expect to be recalled, but hoped someone here remembered me. The fact Siena brought me in is all the better, because I was happy here,” said the returning tactician.

“I didn’t really follow the team closely in these months, so I cannot give judgments. I will watch the tapes of our games to brush up on the new faces. It is clear that at this moment in time the squad needs a relaxed atmosphere.”
