Daniele Mannini (born 25 October 1983 in Viareggio) is an Italian footballer. He plays for Serie A side 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. In January 2009 he was handed a one year suspension 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.[2] Later the ban was frozen by Court of Arbitration for Sport due to appeal process.[3]

In July 2009, Mannini joined Sampdoria in co-ownership bid, for €3.5 million (€7 million divided half).[4][5] 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.

On 25 June 2011, Napoli resolve in his favor at the co-ownership "envelopes", despite the bid was equal to zero: the Sampdoria on the other hand, in fact, abstain entirely from making an offer and the player returns it in blue.

On 6 August 2011, Mannini moved to newly promoted Serie A club Siena.
