Bologna line up Raffaele Palladino to replace Domenico Tedesco

Bologna are considering Raffaele Palladino as their next head coach, with the Italian expected to replace Domenico Tedesco, according to football insider Nicolo Schira on social media.

Palladino must first complete the formal termination of his cooperation with Atalanta before he can take charge of Bologna.

If the agreement is finalised, Palladino is set to sign a contract running until 2028, with an option to extend it for a further season.

The 41-year-old would succeed Tedesco, who previously managed Spartak Moscow, in the Bologna dugout.

Bologna have made a difficult start to the Serie A season. After four matches, they have collected only one point and are 16th in the table.
