Ancona blast for Jardel

The Brazilian is on loan at Stadio del Conero from Bolton Wanderers and has so far failed to find the back of the net in three appearances.

Ancona's latest defeat - which sees them eight points adrift at the bottom of the Serie A table - was a 3-0 reversal at Udinese and Galeone was particularly unhappy with Jardel.

"We gave him another 20 days to put himself right," blasted Galeone.

"In the condition he is you can't present yourself.

"[Nestor] Sensini played while 'smoking'," Galeone said, claiming the Udinese veteran has never had such an easy game.

Jardel, who struggled to adapt to the English game, could now find himself back at Bolton sooner than expected.

Ancona president Emanno Pieroni made huge efforts to bolster his side's chances of survival in the January by bringing in a host of new names - including Jardel.

Pieroni has also changed the coach twice this season, with Galeone replacing Nedo Sonetti who had only taken over from Leonardo Menichini in September.
