Vincenzo Italiano will be the next coach of Bologna. The former Fiorentina will take on the heavy legacy left by Thiago Motta who led the team to qualification for the Champions League. Final ok and 2 year contract.
The Bologna in the hands of Vincenzo Italiano. After having received the “no” to continue in Emilia from Thiago Motta (Juventus betrothed), the rossoblù club immediately started looking for a coach who can take over the heavy legacy left by the Italian-Brazilian . The choice immediately fell on Italiano who ended his career with Fiorentina after losing the second Conference League final.
In fact, today the Viola made official the arrival of Raffaele Palladino as their new coach and now the doors of the Champions League are opening for Italiano. According to Sky Italiano, he would have given his definitive approval to the deal for a two-year contract with an option for a third. A heavy legacy for the Karlsruhe-born coach who will have to lead a perfect group that Thiago Motta had made grow and mature in a very short time, taking them up to fifth place in the standings and qualifying for the next and brand new Champions League.
Italiano’s disappointment after losing the second consecutive Conference final.
Italiano’s signing with Bologna
Italian accepted more or less the same conditions as Florence. The basis of the agreement, provides two million euros initially which can rise up to 2.5 with the inclusion of bonuses based on championship placement and victory in the Italian Cup. In short, Bologna makes it clear that they want to compete on all fronts this year, hoping to follow up on the excellent work seen over the years first by Mihajlovic and then by Thiago Motta himself who completed the work this year.
He bet on Bologna in the Champions League at the beginning of the season and now he’s cashing in: the 70-year-old had calculated everything
The green light from Italiano after Bologna’s acceleration
The now former Fiorentina coach had been followed by several teams. It was thought that Napoli could soon sign him after his farewell to the viola but in the end the Neapolitans went for Conte. The domino of the benches slowly took shape in Serie A with almost all of the big teams now closed or ready to make their coach official, including Lazio, who seems to have resolved the last doubts about Tudor. That’s why in the last few hours Bologna accelerated to the situation by giving a sort of ultimatum to Italian aiming at close within no more than 48 hours.
