Coach Mazzone is on his way out of Brescia, as he was reportedly not happy with what the supporters did after the match against Paris Saint Germain on Tuesday. Menichini will coach Brescia for the Serie A match against A.C. Milan on Sunday, while president Corioni said that he would try his best to persuade coach Mazzone to change his mind. In the case of Mazzone leaving, Baggio may also leave, as one of the terms in his contract is that if Mazzone leaves Brescia, he can leave without obligation.

As reported in La Gazzetta dello Sport, about the match against Paris Saint Germain, Roby said "we played a good game in Paris, we were fighting like lions against a strong team. Paris Saint Germain are famous at the national level as well as internationally, but we never fear. We are a bit tired, because it's the first time in nearly a month that we travel to play a match, but now we have two days to take some rest." Brescia will resume training on Saturday, back in Erbusco.

About the second leg match, Roby said "it will not be an easy game, the squad of (PSG coach) Fernandez has many great players, but if we play with the mind and heart as we did in Paris, we will be able to do something good."

On Tuesday many Brescia supporters were cheering for the team, about this, Roby said "at the Parc des Princes Stadium, our fans were wonderful. It was a pleasure to see all the fans supporting us in France, they were really wonderful, and from captain, representing the team, thanks to them. I was only not able to repay them with a goal, that freekick just grazed pass the woodwork, if it entered the net, then it would be the most important goal because it would boost our chance of qualifying."

Today Brescia will play the first leg of Intertoto Cup final against Paris Saint Germain. About this match, Roby said "Paris Saint Germain is the favourite, but we have nothing to lose, this can become an advantage for us. Surely it will not be easy to play against a team that scored seven goals in the previous round. We will have to play well in order to control the game, we will need to maintain possession as much as possible. We have good hopes." (La Gazzetta dello Sport)

Here is a Real format video from RAI, inside you can see Brescia arriving at Paris, some scenes from last season, and a short interview with Roby.
