Bologna FC have officially parted ways with head coach Domenico Tedesco after just two months at the helm. The manager visited the Casteldebole training centre this morning to bid farewell before concluding his brief spell with the club.
Speaking to reporters from his vehicle upon his departure, Tedesco expressed his disappointment regarding the premature end to his tenure. He praised the supporters and the city for their warm welcome, though he chose to keep his private discussions with the club's hierarchy confidential.
I was welcomed by this city in an amazing way and I would have liked to stay longer. I am very, very sorry. This is football, but these people deserve a lot. Domenico Tedesco
Despite managing only two matches, Tedesco maintained a professional demeanor, wishing the club well and declining to criticize the squad or internal decisions. He stated that what was discussed between him and the club remains private.
The club has moved quickly to appoint Raffaele Palladino as his successor. The new manager has signed a long-term contract running until 30 June 2029, reflecting the club's commitment to building stability under his leadership. Palladino immediately took charge of the team's training session to begin implementing his tactical vision.
