Miccoli targets top four 05 September 2010

Palermo striker Fabrizio Miccoli believes qualifying for the UEFA Champions League is a realistic target this season.

The Sicilian club only just missed out on a place in the latest edition of Europe's premier club competition, having finished fifth in Serie A last term.

Some critics have suggested they might not be able to replicate that success over the coming 12 months, but Miccoli is staying confident.

The diminutive frontman, linked with a move to Birmingham over the summer, insists Palermo can build on their achievements of 2009/10 and push for a place in the top four.Miccoli targets top four
