The 2006-07 campaign for Siena was a tense and dramatic fight for Serie A survival, as the Bianconeri secured a crucial 15th-place finish, just above the relegation zone, under new coach Mario Beretta. Leading the vital attack were the joint top scorers Mario Frick and Massimo Maccarone, whose 6 goals each proved decisive in a campaign built on sheer grit and the consistency of players like veteran goalkeeper Alex Manninger. It was a turbulent but ultimately successful year that cemented Siena's hard-fought status in Italy's top flight.
