Despite achieving successful results at Fenerbahçe, Domenico Tedesco, who parted ways with the club after failing to win the championship, has had a poor start to his Bologna career. After losing his first two league matches, Tedesco's team salvaged a 2-2 draw against Sassuolo with a goal in the 90+1st minute. The Italian coach, however, was shown a red card in the 90+4th minute for his protests. Bologna has managed to collect only 1 point in the first 3 weeks.
Domenico Tedesco, who took charge of Bologna after his tenure at Fenerbahçe, has not yet achieved the results he wanted in Italy.
Tedesco, who achieved successful results during his time with the Yellow-Navy Blues but left the team after failing to reach the championship at the end of the season, has not secured a victory in his first three league matches with Bologna.
NO POINTS IN THE FIRST TWO MATCHES
Bologna lost 1-0 to Lazio in their first league match under Tedesco's management. In their second match, the Italian team again suffered a defeat by the same scoreline against Atalanta. Thus, Tedesco completed the first two league matches of his Bologna career with 0 points and 0 goals.
FIRST POINT AGAINST SASSUOLO
In the third week, Bologna hosted Sassuolo at home. The visiting team took the lead with Josh Doig in the 19th minute, while Bologna equalized with Roberto Piccoli in the 50th minute.
Sassuolo took the lead again in the 56th minute through Vasilije Adzic. The goal that saved Tedesco's team from defeat came from Artem Dovbyk in the 90+1st minute, and the match ended 2-2.
TEDESCO SAW A RED CARD IN THE 90+4TH MINUTE
Tensions rose in the final moments of the match, and Domenico Tedesco could not finish the game. The Italian coach was sent off after receiving a red card in the 90+4th minute due to his protests.
ONLY 1 POINT IN 3 MATCHES
Although the draw against Sassuolo gave Bologna their first point in the league, the poor start under Tedesco continued.
Tedesco's first three league matches at Bologna:
- Bologna 0-1 Lazio
- Bologna 0-1 Atalanta
- Bologna 2-2 Sassuolo
Thus, Bologna collected only 1 point from 3 matches, with 1 draw and 2 defeats. Tedesco's team, which failed to score in the first two matches, found the net twice in the third match.
HIS DEPARTURE FROM FENERBAHÇE WAS CRITICIZED
Tedesco's departure from Fenerbahçe had caused controversy among the Yellow-Navy fans at the time. A group of fans considered the team's performance under Tedesco sufficient despite the lack of a championship and criticized the decision to part ways with the coach. However, Tedesco, who could not secure a win in his first three league matches at Bologna, managed to take only 1 point.
