Footy: Bologna Defeat AC Milan In Coppa Italia Final, Real Madrid Threaten La Liga Title (5/15)

Bologna CEO Claudio Fenucci insists that the Rossoblu and head coach Vincenzo Italiano ‘will continue together’ after the players lifted the club’s first major title in 51 years with a 1-0

The Rossoneri were hoping to salvage their disappointing season by winning the Coppa Italia at the Stadio Olimpico. After getting past both Roma and Inter Milan on the road to the final, AC Milan seemed poised to lift the trophy for the first time since 2003.

Milan dealt Bologna's hopes of Champions League qualification a huge blow with a comeback 2-1 win at the San Siro in a dress rehearsal of the Coppa Italia final. Milan's hopes of keeping European qualification alive via the league suffered an early blow when Fikayo Tomori was forced off after just 14 minutes with a freak head injury.

Bologna technical director Giovanni Sartori lauded his team's match-winning efforts in the Coppa Italia final, where they beat AC Milan.
