What happened. Bologna dismissed Domenico Tedesco just four games into the season after one draw and three Serie A defeats. Raffaele Palladino has been appointed as his replacement and took his first training session today.

• Tedesco's only point came in a 2-2 home draw with Sassuolo on September 6
• He had previously managed Belgium and Fenerbahce before joining Bologna this summer
• Palladino has signed a contract at the Stadio Dall'Ara until June 2029

“I am very disappointed, because these people deserve so much”

— Domenico Tedesco

Palladino now takes over a Bologna side still searching for its first win of the Serie A season.
