BOLOGNA — Bologna FC has reached a definitive agreement to appoint Domenico Tedesco as their new head coach, filling the vacancy left by the departure of Vincenzo Italiano.

The 40 year-old Italian German manager, who brings a wealth of experience from his time at RB Leipzig, the Belgium national team, and most recently Fenerbahçe, is expected to sign his official contract imminently.

Deal Structure

The club has moved to secure Tedesco on a long-term basis. According to reports, the agreement is structured as either a fixed three-year contract or a two-year deal with a formal club option for an additional third season.

A Historic First

This appointment marks a significant milestone in Tedesco’s career, as it will be his first-ever experience managing in Serie A. Known for his tactical flexibility and analytical approach, Tedesco is tasked with maintaining the momentum at the Rossoblù and establishing them as a consistent contender in the Italian top flight.

Tedesco’s arrival is viewed as a high-profile move for the Bologna hierarchy, who aim to capitalize on his international pedigree to elevate the club's performance both domestically and potentially on the European stage.
