Menna renews until 2027:: "Proud"

Ascoli and Damian Menna together until 2027. Yesterday, the club on Corso Vittorio Emanuele announced the extension of the 29-year-old defender's contract for another two years. The official press release from Picchio arrived late in the morning. "Ascoli Calcio 1898 Fc Spa is pleased to announce the renewal of the contract with defender Damiano Menna until June 30, 2027 – reads the note issued –. Having arrived in black and white last August, he has been appreciated for his commitment and dedication in the 21 league appearances he has collected with the Ascoli shirt and topped off with the goal scored at Speroni in Busto Arsizio against Milan Futuro". The central defender from Lanciano, after the injury that saw him suffer a moderate muscle lesion in his calf, was recently able to return to provide his contribution during the match lost in Campobasso (2-0). He then returned to the starting eleven of Picchio in the following outing against Arezzo (1-0). Precisely in a particularly delicate moment that had seen the infirmary fill up with central defenders. Having left the field in a bad way at the end of the home win against Carpi (2-1) in the match that saw Mirko Cudini's debut on the black and white bench, Menna was then forced to stop due to the aforementioned physical problem. The same one that forced him to skip the matches with Rimini in sequence (2-0), Pescara (1-2), Ternana (0-3) and Perugia (2-1). The defender was reinstated in the group and included again in the list of players called up for the home game lost against Pineto (0-1), where he went to the bench but was unable to return to the pitch. In Campobasso he was included in the final minutes, a few turns of the hand before the goal of the definitive knockout inflicted by Lombari. So after the dismissal of Cudini and the return of Mimmo Di Carlo, the central defender returned to the field from the first minute against Arezzo (1-0) to lead the defensive line alongside the young Piermarini. "It's a renewal that I strongly wanted - the comment released by the player -, I thank the club that believed and believes in me. I'm very proud to have tied myself to Ascoli for another two years, I will give my all to try to bring the black and white colors back to the top". mas.mar.
