Palermo boss Gigi del Neri has played down speculation his job is in danger ahead of Saturday's game with Siena. The former Chievo and Roma coach has seen his inconsistent side become bogged down in midtable, igniting talk the Sicilian club may axe him.

But Del Neri on Friday insisted his mind was fully focussed on beating Siena.
"For me, the only thing that counts is the game against Siena," said Del Neri, who is set to start with new signing David di Michele up front alongside Andrea Caracciolo.
"It's a game to be won. The team spirit is good and we are determined to show that we will battle."
Experienced Croatia defender Igor Tudor will be absent from the Siena line-up through suspension, while Daniele Gastaldello also serves a ban. Tomas Locatelli is injured.
