Siena coach De Canio slams Juventus bias talk


Siena coach Gigi De Canio has bristled at doubts over his and the club's commitment leading into their clash with Juventus this week.

De Canio's association with the Italian agency GEA, which is run by the son of Juve director general Luciano Moggi, and also Siena's good relationship with Juve has fueled talk that the Serie A champs may get an easy win this weekend.
But De Canio rapped: "I find this seriously offensive. There are many teams which have relationships with Juventus or GEA, but they only talk about De Canio and Siena.
"My professional history is above suspicion."
He added: "To talk about other things is offensive to my dignity and my players' dignity.
"If Juventus want to win the championship, they cannot afford to commit anymore errors."
