After a disappointing run of results, Bologna are reportedly weighing whether to part ways with head coach Domenico Tedesco. The Serie A club have already begun drawing up a shortlist of potential successors, with former AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli and ex-Juventus coach Thiago Motta both linked with the role. Pioli brings extensive top-level experience from his time at Milan, while Motta — who previously led Bologna to Champions League qualification — would represent a familiar figure at the Stadio Dall'Ara.

The names on their shortlist — Pioli, a proven serial top-four finisher with Milan, and Motta, the architect of their recent rise — show Bologna are aiming high rather than settling for a safe pair of hands. Whoever takes charge will inherit a squad built for progressive football but one now short on confidence and results, and the next appointment will be framed by how the club wants to position itself going forward.
