Rome - Serie A side Catania have renewed the contract of coach Walter Zenga until the end of the 2009/2010 season, the Sicily club's web site said Thursday.

Zenga, 48, last season rescued Catania from relegation after taking the helm with seven games left. In the current season, his team sits comfortably at mid-table on 22 points from 15 games.

After a brilliant career as goalkeeper, which included 12 seasons at Inter Milan and 58 caps with Italy's national team, Zenga coached various sides in the U. S., Romania, Serbia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. (dpa)
