In January 2008, Manuel Coppola moved to Serie A club Siena in a temporary deal, with the option to buy half of the registration rights. In June 2008 Siena exercised this option for €1.5 million. In July 2008 Siena also signed Abdelkader Ghezzal (for €3.5 million, Genoa bought him for €2 million in June) and bought back Fernando Forestieri for €4.5 million in June (was €1.7 million a year before). The deals effectively made Siena paid Genoa €500,000 cash and 50% registration rights of Forestieri to acquire 50% registration rights of Coppola and Ghezzal from Genoa and Genoa paid Crotone €2 million cash for Ghezzal.

Coppola was only able to play 15 games during the 2008–09 Serie A season. In June 2009 Siena signed Coppola outright for another €1.5 million and also signed Gianluca Pegolo for €1 million (a year before a free agent). Co-currently, Siena sold Houssine Kharja to Genoa for €6.5 million. The deals, again effectively made Genoa acquired Kharja for €4 million cash plus 50% registration rights of Coppola and Pegolo. However, Coppola was involved in another player swap.
