Bologna are waiting on Vincenzo Italiano’s decision over next season. His continuity is not assured, and the current eighth-placed Serie A side could turn to the market.

Corriere dello Sport reports that Francesco Farioli is their dream target, noting a good relationship with director Giovanni Sartori, but adds that leaving Porto is considered impossible, with the Portuguese title in sight and the Champions League to follow.

Italiano is in his second season in charge of Bologna.

The 48-year-old won the Coppa Italia in 2024/25.

If a change occurs, Bologna’s list also includes Maurizio Sarri, Fabio Grosso and Stefano Pioli.
