Bologna: Stefano Pioli was contacted for the post-Motta

It’s no longer really a surprise but Thiago Motta’s future is being written further and further away from Bologna, as we exclusively revealed to you last March. Indeed, the Italian coach has already warned his management that he had received concrete approaches from certain clubs including Juventus, which has made it an absolute priority. Still in a good position to pocket a ticket for the Champions League, the Bolognese management is working to anticipate the departure of the Italian tactician and several profiles have been surveyed in recent weeks by the leaders. In this sense, according to our information, the management of Bologna, structured around president Joey Saputo, has already ticked off the name of Stefano Pioli as a possible successor.

The current AC Milan coach is in an ejection seat on the Rossoneri side and the Rossoblù intend to take advantage of this to make him their future technician. Initial contacts have been established between the Emilia-Romagna club and representatives of Stefano Pioli in recent days. According to our additional indiscretions, Vincenzo Italiano, at the end of his contract with Fiorentina, and Alessio Dionisi, without a club since his departure from Sassuolo, are also on Bologna’s shortlist. In any case, everything suggests that the Rossoblù are preparing for a near future without Thiago Motta despite a very nice 4th place.
