Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic, who has been battling leukemia since 2019, announced on Saturday that he will be hospitalized again due to a risk of relapse.

“My remission after the [bone marrow transplant in October 2019] was great, but unfortunately these diseases are sneaky (...).

The latest analyzes have revealed a risk of relapse,” explained the Serb during a press conference.

“To avoid it, I will have to follow a therapeutic course (…).

This time I will not make a sliding tackle on a thrown opponent, I will anticipate so as not to let him go, ”he joked.

The former Yugoslavian international, an excellent free-kick taker who notably played for Lazio Rome and Sampdoria in Genoa, will be admitted next week to Sant'Orsola Hospital in Bologna.

The technician had announced in mid-2019 that he suffered from leukemia.

Arrived in January 2019 in Bologna, he had straightened out a very compromised situation, bringing the team back from the relegation zone to 10th place.

Bologna finished 12th the following two seasons, its current place in Serie A, eight days from the end of the championship.
