AC Siena: Geen Palio maar Calcio - Wij Zijn Voetbal

Clubgeschiedenis
Formed in 1904 as Società Studio e Divertimento (Society for Study and Entertainment), a sports club characterized by a black and white check jersey (derived from the city of Siena coat of arms), it opened its football section, named Società Sportiva Robur, in 1908. Today the name "Robur" is widely used by the local supporters to distinguish the football team from the two basket ones, "Mens Sana" and "Virtus".

The team finally became known as Associazione Calcio Siena in 1933/1934. In 1934/1935 Siena were promoted for the first time to Serie B. In the post-war season 1945–46, Siena played in the top division of Italian football for the first time. In that season, a mixed wartime league composed by Serie A and Serie B teams was played. Some of the southern sides that took part in the top division, including Siena, were Serie B teams, while northern Serie B teams played at the second level with the Serie C teams. Therefore, although Siena played in the top division, it was not considered having played in the Serie A in that season, not having qualified for the National Round.

After 55 years played in several minor leagues, in 1999/2000 Siena was again promoted to Serie B. After a good season on 2000/2001, the next season saw Siena in serious troubles, and coach Giuseppe Papadopulo, first sacked but then recalled at the helm of the team, was able to save the team in the last day.

The following season, again with Papadopulo as head coach, saw the first Serie A promotion ever of Siena, led by players such as Rodrigo Taddei and Pinga. And they had waited for 58 years after their last appearance in the top division of Italian football.

The 2003/2004 campaign, remembered as the first Serie A season in the club's history, ended in a good 13th place.

In the 2004/05 Serie A campaign, with Luigi De Canio as head coach, Siena struggled for large periods of the season, languishing in the relegation zone for a great deal of the campaign, and with the team drawing far too many games and barely taking any wins, the club looked a sure bet to be relegated.

A resurge of form towards of the end of the season gave them hope however, and a 2–1 win against already relegated Atalanta on the last day saw them secure safety and an acceptable 14th place in the table.

The 2005/2006 season also saw Siena fighting hard and successfully for keeping its place in Serie A. This season, ended in a 17th place, was also the last at AC Siena's helm for coach De Canio. For the 2006–2007 season, Mario Beretta, who led Parma in the previous season, was appointed as new head coach. He led Siena to save from relegation after a 2–1 home win to Lazio in the final matchday.

During the 2006–07 season, club chairman Paolo De Luca, who took over in 2001 and helped the club to their first historical Serie A promotion, started talks to sell AC Siena to a conglomerate of Tuscan businessmen led by Giovanni Lombardi Stronati, president of Valle del Giovenco. The bid was finalized on 30 March 2007, one day before De Luca died after a long illness.

The head coach for the 2007–08 campaign was to be Andrea Mandorlini, but he left the club by mutual consent on 12 November. Former coach Mario Beretta once again took charge.

The club also explored the possibility of changing its denomination in order to include the name of their main sponsor, Monte dei Paschi di Siena. On 9 July 2007 the club announced it had changed their denomination to A.C. Siena Montepaschi. However, the name change needed to be accepted by the Italian Football Federation in order to become official: After the refusal by FIGC, this idea was abandoned.

The current president of the club is Massimo Mezzaroma, while the vice president is Valentina Mezzaroma. In the 2010/11 Serie Bwin, Siena used the new team logo that was designed by Omar Zu'Mot. On the 7th of May 2011, A.C. Siena was once again promoted to the Serie A by reaching one of the two automatic qualification spots available in the second tier.

Een stadje als Siena hoort in A.

Mij zegt de club Siena echt helemaal niks, ik vind het eigenlijk wel jammer dat ze gepromoveerd zijn, ik had liever Torino of Vicenza of zo gezien.

Ja, de ferrari die van Auxerre afkwam. Had al snel heimwee, al dan niet onder druk van zijn vriendin.

Club is een wat grijze muis inderdaad, maar de stad maakt zoveel goed.

D'Agostino and Angella join Siena

Siena have officially signed Gaetano D’Agostino and Gabriele Angella from Udinese. “I accepted straight away.”

D’Agostino had been left in the lurch after the Friulani won a blind auction against Fiorentina to win his full ownership.

He underwent a medical on Friday and was presented to the media this weekend.

“I accepted Siena’s offer straight away, because I had faith in the words of the director and President,” said the Italy international.

“It’s not easy to complete negotiations for a transfer in one day, but that shows how much Siena valued my contribution.

“I feel good and want to get straight on to the field. I don’t need to take revenge or anything, but just prove I am a useful player for this squad.

“My objective, and that of Siena, is to secure safety as quickly as possible. This is a solid club, so they have everything they need to be a success.”

Udinese also loaned defender Angella to Siena, as he is still co-owned by Serie B club Empoli.

“I am very happy to be at such an important side and proud to be alongside those who earned promotion last season,” said Angella.

“It’s a great chance for me and I hope to play more consistently than I did at Udinese.”

D'Agostino is wel een topaankoop voor een club van het kaliber Siena.

El Capitano · 10-07-11, 20:26

Ben benieuwd of ze een leuke selectie krijgen. Een leuke club zou niet misstaan in een stad als Siena

Zeker, en logisch ook dat ie ging nadat in die veiling bleek dat zowel Udinese als Fiorentina hoog spel speelden door extreem laag te bieden.
