Bologna sack Tedesco after four Serie A rounds, appoint Palladino

Bologna has sacked coach Domenico Tedesco after four Serie A rounds and appointed Raffaele Palladino as his successor.

• Bologna dismissed Tedesco on Wednesday after a loss to Napoli left the club with one point from four matches, in 16th place.
• The club appointed Palladino on a long-term contract running until June 2029.
• Palladino, who previously coached Monza, Fiorentina, and Atalanta, will make his debut against Torino on Saturday.
• Tedesco had taken charge of the team in June; his dismissal is the second coaching change in Serie A this season after Fiorentina replaced Fabio Grosso with Paolo Vanoli.
