ACF Fiorentina have extended defender Alessandro Gamberini's contract by two years until the summer of 2011.
Italy call-ups
Gamberini, signed from Bologna FC before the 2005/06 season, has signed the new and improved deal after impressing during his 47 Serie A appearances for the Tuscan club. The 25-year-old centre-back has twice been called up by Italy but is still waiting for his first cap. He previously played 78 league matches for Bologna and had a short loan spell at Hellas-Verona FC. Fiorentina begin their campaign at home to Empoli FC on Sunday, then kick off their UEFA Cup challenge on 20 September.
