He is 40 years old, was born in Calabria but grew up in Germany, has won two national cups with Leipzig and Fenerbahçe and has long been a fan of Sartori
And it will be exactly as described and hypothesized: after an Italian born in Germany here is an Italian with a German surname. Bologna are taking on, the official announcement should arrive within hours, the former Belgium coach as well as a coach who has won two Cups, one with Fenerbahçe (2025) and the other leading Leipzig (2022). After the Coppa Italia won with Vincenzo Italiano last year, Bologna will not deviate from a winning profile: Domenico Tedesco’s contract will be until 2028 with an option for 2029.
since April
—
There is a background to all this: the contacts would have begun at the end of April and last Thursday’s meeting had not been the very first face to face between Bologna and Italiano: perhaps it had already been understood that something would lead to a farewell between the coach born in Karlsruhe and Bologna? Probable, having received confirmations on contacts created a month ago.
Him, DiFra and Grosso
—
Bologna essentially had three other objectives on the table. Eusebio Di Francesco (who had the rossoblù CEO Claudio Fenucci at Roma), Daniele De Rossi who has long seen Genoa as the perfect place and Fabio Grosso: the virtual head-to-head with Domenico Tedesco was with the now former Sassuolo coach who however – attracted by Paratici who chose him for the youth at Juventus – chose Fiorentina.
CV
—
Domenico Tedesco has strong experience abroad having always coached outside Italy: from the sensational salvation with Erzgebirge Aue to Schalke 04, then Spartak Moscow and Leipzig with his peak as coach of Belgium’s gold generation: at Euro 2024 he came out in the round of 16 against France. Then, Fenerbahçe replaced Mourinho, won the Cup against Galatasaray and was sacked on 27 April after a knockout against Gala. And probably from the end of that month the first phone calls from Bologna began.
Modulo and Dalla
—
Born in Rossano Calabro, 40 years old, he lands on an Italian bench for the first time: already in the post-Motta period it was a “mania” of Sartori who preferred Vincenzo Italiano to him and Di Francesco. Tedesco speaks six languages and adores Lucio Dalla. “When I hear ‘Stella di mare’ I get excited” he told the Gazzetta. At the Dall’Ara he will sing “The year that will come” probably spreading a 4-2-3-1 which up to a certain point was the basic Italian formation. Continuity and European football to return to the Atlas of Europe.

In the meantime, Bologna has announced the renewal of Juan Miranda, who was drafted at zero two years ago and is one of the best left-footed wing players in the championship: for him, an extension until 2028.
