Bologna FC – Latest News, Squad Info, and Match Updates

Current Squad and Key Players
Bologna’s roster mixes experienced pros with hungry youngsters. The captain, Riccardo Orsolini, runs the midfield and often drives the team forward with his speed.

In defense, Federico Gatti is the main centre‑back. He’s solid in the air and good at reading the game. The full‑backs, Riccardo Calafiori on the left and Alessandro Gherardi on the right, provide width and often join the attack.
Goalkeeper Maarten Paes has been reliable, making a few big saves that helped Bologna grab points. The midfield also features Giacomo Rizzo, who can break up passes and start counters.
Coach Sasa Ljubicic likes a 4‑3‑3 shape, giving the wingers space to run at opponents. This means the team often attacks on the flanks and looks for quick crosses into the box.
