Bologna sack Domenico Tedesco and hire Raffaele Palladino

Bologna fired their manager after four matches and hired Raffaele Palladino.

Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 16 September 2026

Bologna made a swift change in the dugout by sacking Domenico Tedesco after only four league fixtures. The team managed just one point from their opening matches, leaving punters who backed them to struggle early in the season. Tedesco signed a deal in June, but poor results brought a fast end to his time at the club.

The start of the season

The side managed a single draw against Sassuolo thanks to a late goal. Their other three matches ended in narrow one goal defeats to Lazio, Atalanta and Napoli. Bettors backing them to score regularly found little joy during this short run.

Entering Raffaele Palladino

Raffaele Palladino takes over the managerial position following his exit from Atalanta. He brings plenty of top flight experience after previous spells with Monza and Fiorentina. His track record includes guiding teams to respectable league finishes and keeping clubs clear of relegation.

What this means for the odds

The managerial change will likely make Bologna longer in the relegation markets as the new coach settles in. Punters should watch how the team responds in the next few fixtures before placing any major wagers on their league finish.

What it means for a bet

Backers should wait to see how the new manager alters team performance before placing bets on their upcoming fixtures.
