Daniele Mannini (born 25 October 1983 in Viareggio) is an Italian footballer. He plays for A.C. Pisa 1909 on loan from A.C. Siena.

Career

Son of former ACF Fiorentina goalkeeper Alessandro Mannini, Daniele started his professional career at hometown club Viareggio, playing with them in the Italian Serie C2 and Serie D tiers.

In summer 2003, he joined Pisa of Serie C1, and the next season for Serie A club Brescia.[1] On 12 September 2004, he made his Serie A debut against Juventus. He followed Brescia relegated to Serie B in summer 2005, and played until 31 January 2008, left for Serie A club Napoli joining fellow Brescia players Santacroce and Hamsik, for a total fee of €18 million within a season. Mannini himself was tagged for €7 million.[2] In January 2009 he was handed a one year suspension by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) along with former teammate Davide Possanzini from WADA for being late for a drugs test following a Serie B match between Brescia and Chievo in December 2007.[3] Later the ban was frozen by CAS due to appeal process.,[4] The ban was cancelled on 27 July 2009[5] after being proved there was no real intention to avoid the controls from Possanzini and Mannini.

Sampdoria

In July 2009, Mannini joined Sampdoria in co-ownership bid, for €3.5 million (€7 million divided half).[6][7] On the same day Hugo Campagnaro joined Napoli for €7 million.

Mannini made an excellent start in his first season at Sampdoria, scoring 5 goals in Serie A and 3 assists in just 8 games.

At the end of 2010–11 Serie A, Doria was relegated. The club gave up the co-ownership and allowed players to return to their mother clubs for a peppercorn fee of €500 each, such as keeper Gianluca Curci and winger Stefano Guberti. However the co-ownership of Mannini was not resolved before the deadline on 24 June. Thus, both clubs had to submit a bid in a sealed envelope to decide the highest bidder. However Lega Serie A announced that Napoli bought back Mannini for a fee of just €500,[8] on the other hand, Sampdoria abstain entirely from making an offer.[9]

Siena

On 6 August 2011, Mannini moved to newly promoted Serie A club Siena in another co-ownership deal for €450,000 (plus €200,000 other fee) in 4-year contract.[10][11][12] In June 2013 Siena acquired Mannini outright for free[13] after the club was relegated. Both clubs failed to form any deal before the deadline, but Napoli did not submit a bid.[14]

On 31 January 2014 he was signed by the third division club Pisa in temporary deal.[15]
