In the beating heart of Bologna, among the streets that smell of history and football tradition, there is an air of renewal. At the center of this breath of fresh air is Vincenzo Italiano, the coach who has been able to confirm Bologna as a team capable of competing at the highest level of Serie A.
It was not easy to repeat the work of Thiago Motta, because it is known that confirming is often more difficult than surprising. What’s more, the Karlsruhe-born coach was faced with the farewell of players like Calafiori and Zirkzee, two pillars of Motta’s cycle, and three competitions at the same time, a situation that if you don’t have the right structure you seriously risk being overwhelmed: think, for example, of Empoli in 2008, which relegated after its historic participation in the UEFA Cup, albeit only in the first round. Bologna, on the other hand, is currently fourth ahead of Juve. Not bad, mister Vincenzo!
Italiano, with a market that was far from unforgettable, managed to do a great job enhancing players already in the squad who had not yet blossomed, such as Ndoye and Odgaard, or consecrating Orsolini who is in the best season of his career. But above all, he made a talent like Santiago Castro, class of 2004, explode, who arrived with Thiago Motta but was brought to the top just by Italiano, until he ended up in the sights of Inter, Juventus and other teams interested in him.
After leaving a significant imprint at Fiorentina, Vincenzo Italiano’s Bologna has expressed proactive soccer, enhancing young talent and obtaining results that have surprised many insiders. Inevitably, the Sicilian coach’s name would begin to be approached by the big names in our league, and not only. But we will probably have to wait to see him change benches, and who knows for how long.
Il rinnovo di Italiano col Bologna: la clausola va via!
In recent days, rumors about a possible contract renewal for Italiano have become increasingly insistent. According to sources close to the club, Bologna would be willing to offer the coach a contract extension with a significant salary adjustment.

But the real news concerns the termination clause: according to what our editorial staff gathered, at the end of the season and for a few weeks, the technician can free himself for another team upon payment of a clause.
Now, with the new contract, this clause would go away. A move that would underscore the willingness of both parties to continue together without conditions that would undermine the stability of the project.
Asked about the subject, Italiano said he really likes the idea of renewing with Bologna: “With honesty I have to say that nothing has been discussed yet. But there is all my availability.” Words that hint at a mutual openness to dialogue and a willingness to build a solid future together. The Emilian club thus seems intent on building a long-term project, focusing on stable technical guidance and young talented prospects.
The elimination of the rescission clause in Italiano’s contract would be a strong signal in this direction, consolidating a bond that could give the Rossoblu fans much satisfaction, positioning the Rossoblu in the elite of Italian soccer where Atalanta, another beautiful fairy tale of our soccer, has settled in recent years. Italiano and Bologna seem to be the next candidates for that fantastic epic.
