Overview
- Bologna dismissed head coach Domenico Tedesco Wednesday after four Serie A matches and named Raffaele Palladino as his replacement on a three-year deal through summer 2029.
- The club had one point from four games, conceded three 1-0 defeats and scored only twice in a 2-2 draw with Sassuolo, problems that the board cited as justification for the change.
- Palladino, 42, arrives with recent Serie A experience at Monza, Fiorentina and Atalanta and took his first training session the same day he was hired with a home fixture against Torino next on the schedule.
- Tedesco’s spell lasted 99 days after a June appointment and included a red-card incident during the Sassuolo draw that led to a reported two-match suspension and added pressure on his position.
- The move is the second early-season Serie A sacking this term and reflects low tolerance for bad starts at a club that lost several players over the summer and now needs quick stabilization on the field.
