Manchester United and Juventus come to see that Bologna is not Motta or the players, but the club management. In the 27th round of Serie A, Bologna defeated Cagliari 2-1 at home, and won 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in the last 10 rounds of the league. With this victory, Bologna moved up to sixth in Serie A, just two points behind Juventus.
Bologna, who finished fifth in Serie A last season and qualified for the Champions League, have been playing on two fronts this season with a heavier task than last season. In this summer window, Bologna coach Motta was poached by Juventus, and the team's two main players, Zirkze and Calafiori, were poached by the Premier League's big6 team. Zirkze joined Manchester United for €42.5 million and Calafioli joined Arsenal for €45 million.
Bologna have been weakened by the loss of manager Motta this season and the sale of the duo (Zirkze + Carafiori) for a transfer fee of 87.5 million euros. However, under the management of new coach Idalino, Bologna have maintained an excellent record this season, finishing sixth in Serie A, reaching the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia and facing Empoli in the semi-finals.
Do you agree with Bologna's inspirational story about Manchester United and Juventus, whether the team is strong or not, the management > the coach & the players?
