Catania signs Zenga to contract extension

Soccer Betting Lines

12/12/2008 - Catania, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Catania Calcio has handed coach Walter Zenga a contract extension to keep him at the club until the end of the 2009-10 season.

The 48-year-old former Italy goalkeeper helped the club escape relegation from Serie A last season, having only taken charge at the Stadio Massimino in April.

Zenga had previously made his name in coaching outside Italy, enjoying spells in charge of National Bucharest, Steaua Bucharest, Red Star Belgrade and Dinamo Bucharest, as well as several other clubs.

Catania president Antonio Pulvirenti told La Gazzetta Dello Sport: "We can see the same objectives and it was simple to reach an agreement.

"Zenga has achieved important results and, most importantly he has joined our long-term project. We want to grow together."

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game

How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.

A two-time Pro Bowler, Green was going into a feet-first hook slide when he was knocked unconscious by a thunderous, head-snapping hit from Cincinnati's Robert Geathers.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
