Bologna fires coach Domenico Tedesco after just 4 matches and hires Raffaele Palladino
Bologna has fired coach Domenico Tedesco after just four Serie A matches and replaced him with Raffaele Palladino. Sunday's loss at Napoli left Bologna 16th in the league table, with only one point from its opening four matches. Tedesco had been in charge since June. Palladino has been given a contract through the end of June 2029. The 42-year-old previously led Monza, Fiorentina, and Atalanta. His first match in charge will be on Saturday at home to Torino.
It is the second coaching change of the fledgling Serie A season as Fabio Grosso was fired earlier this month by Fiorentina, which rehired Paolo Vanoli.
