Bologna FC 2025-26 🔵🔴
Bologna FC made history in 2024-25, returning to the Champions League for the first time in sixty years after a stunning Serie A campaign under Thiago Motta. I Rossoblu — the red-and-blues of Emilia-Romagna — are one of Italian football's most storied clubs, with seven Serie A titles and a tradition stretching back to the early twentieth century. The historic Renato Dall'Ara stadium sits at the heart of a university city that has always punched above its weight in Italian football. Bologna's story is a reminder that ambition, organisation, and bold coaching choices can transform even long-sleeping giants.
The Bologna Story 2025-26
Champions League Return: 60 Years in the Making
Bologna’s qualification for the Champions League in 2024-25 was one of Serie A’s most emotional stories in decades. The club had last competed in Europe’s premier competition in the 1960s — when Italian football was a different world entirely. The achievement validated years of patient rebuilding under the Saputo family’s ownership, which brought stability, investment, and a coherent footballing philosophy to a club that had spent too long in the shadows of Italy’s bigger names. Returning to the Champions League was not just a sporting milestone — it was the culmination of a generational project.
Thiago Motta’s Revolution
Thiago Motta’s tenure at Bologna was a masterclass in modern football management. The former Brazil and Italy midfielder brought a possession-based, high-intensity style that transformed a solid mid-table outfit into Champions League contenders within a couple of seasons. His ability to develop young players, extract maximum performance from modest resources, and instil a clear tactical identity won widespread admiration. Motta’s eventual departure to Juventus was a testament to how far he had taken the club — and the challenge for Bologna’s new management era is to sustain that momentum in the seasons that follow.
Bologna’s Italian Identity
Bologna is Italy’s gastronomic capital — the city of tortellini, mortadella, and the oldest university in the Western world. The football club embodies the same pride and tradition that defines the city. Seven Serie A titles, mostly won in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, make Bologna one of the most decorated clubs in the history of Italian football before the dominance of the northern giants took hold. The Renato Dall'Ara stadium, a bowl of blue-and-red passion in the shadow of the Apennines, remains one of Serie A’s most characterful grounds — and a venue where opponents know they are in for a serious contest.
