Official - Bologna sack Mihajlovic
Tuesday 14 April, 2009

It is now official that Bologna have axed Sinisa Mihajlovic and brought in Giuseppe Papadopulo.

Mihajlovic made a bright start to life on the Bologna bench when he replaced Daniele Arrigoni in November.

But things turned sour in 2009 and the Felsinei's thumping 4-1 defeat against Siena at the weekend convinced President Francesco Menarini that it was time for a change.

The new man is former Lazio boss Papadopulo, who is seen as a safe pair of hands.

Papa led Lecce up from Serie B last season but refused to stay on at Via Del Mare and has been unemployed since.

He will be presented at the Niccolò Galli Centre at 1pm today and has the task of overhauling Torino to ensure Serie A survival.

The Emilia-Romagna outfit currently trail Toro by one point and are five behind Chievo, while 19th-placed Lecce are nipping at their heels.
