Official: New boss at Renato Dall'Ara! Bologna announce their new head coach

Italian side Bologna have quickly appointed a new head coach following the high-profile dismissal of Domenico Tedesco.

Details: Bologna's management have officially announced the appointment of Raffaele Palladino as head coach of the first team. The 42-year-old Italian coach has signed a 2+1 deal — a two-year contract with an option to extend for an additional season if sporting targets are met.

Palladino replaces Domenico Tedesco in the Rossoblu dugout after the club ended its working relationship with the German-Italian coach following the team's poor start to the domestic campaign. Club chiefs are counting on the arrival of a tactically flexible and ambitious manager to help the side reset and return to the fight for the top spots in the league table.

Raffaele Palladino previously gained widespread recognition in Serie A for his productive work with Monza, where he implemented bold, combination-based football, and also managed Fiorentina. Bologna's new boss faces a clear task — to quickly restore discipline in the defensive structure and ensure a consistent points haul in domestic and international competitions.
