Sky Sport Italia report that Bologna have received the green light from Vincenzo Italiano, with his contract set to be formalized within the next few hours. After a period of reflection, the former Fiorentina manager has accepted Bologna’s proposal and will step in to replace Thiago Motta, who looks set to join Juventus.
According to Sky, Bologna’s persistent pursuit of Italiano has finally borne fruit. Despite the lingering disappointment from Fiorentina’s loss in the Conference League final, Italiano took his time to contemplate his next move. The club’s unwavering commitment and the project presented by Bologna ultimately convinced him to take on the new challenge.
The formalization of his contract, which will tie him to Bologna for the next two seasons, is expected imminently, with the official signing expected to take place later today.
