Overview
- Bologna announced the dismissal of Domenico Tedesco and immediately named 42-year-old Raffaele Palladino as head coach with a deal running to 30 June 2029.
- Tedesco’s spell lasted about two months and left the team with one point from four Serie A matches, leaving Bologna near the relegation zone in 16th place.
- The league had suspended Tedesco for two matches after he received a red card for verbally abusing a referee during the 2-2 draw with Sassuolo.
- Palladino arrives with recent experience at Atalanta and previous jobs at Fiorentina and Monza, and he was scheduled to lead his first training session the day of the announcement.
- The long contract signals Bologna want a medium-term reset to steady results and satisfy supporters, with the immediate test being how quickly performances improve in the coming fixtures.
