Dica: On his way home

Catania coach Walter Zenga has confirmed that Nicolae Dica will be leaving the club in January.

The Romanian forward arrived in the summer on a four-year contract from Steaua Bucharest.

Zenga brought in Dica after managing him at Steaua - but the 28-year-old has failed to settle in Italy and is now set to leave.

“Dica has not settled in and asked to leave,” confirmed Zenga.

“I tried to give him a launching pad at Siena, but during the game he told me did not feel up to playing, whereas I wanted to give him some space.”

Dica has managed just two games for Catania since his move and is set to move back to Romania.
