Domenico Tedesco appointed Bologna coach

Domenico Tedesco will coach in his birth country of Italy for the first time as he has been appointed Bologna helmsman.

The Serie A club said on Tuesday that Tedesco signed a contract until 2028 which includes an option for another season.

The 2025 Coppa Italia winners parted ways with Vincenzo Italiano last week after finishing outside the European berths in eighth place in the league.

Tedesco, who was born in Italy and grew up in Germany, was previously in charge of Turkish side Fenerbahce where he had to go in April.

The German-Italian has in the past coached the Belgian national team, German sides Schalke and RB Leipzig as well as Spartak Moscow.
