Bologna, Thiago Motta has a thought for Sinisa Mihajlovic
Thiago Motta remembers Sinisa Mihajlovic
For Bologna, mid-December is not a time like any other: twelve months ago, on December 16, 2022, Sinisa Mihajlovic said goodbye to this world, after a long and proud battle with acute myeloid leukemia, which he was diagnosed with, a first time, in 2019 and with which he fought bravely even in the midst of his competitive seasons at the helm of the Rossoblù team.
Thiago Motta, who will replace Mihajlovic himself in September 2022, wished to dedicate a thought to his Serbian colleague during Friday’s press conference, in which he presented Sunday’s challenge between the Felsinei and Roma: "In the most difficult moment Sinisa never gave up – said the Italian-Brazilian coach -, he remains an example of sport and life".
" He passed on these values to everyone in this club, even to me who came later – added Thiago Motta -. Of course, I also dedicate a thought to his family, to whom I say that he taught us to never give up, and è a lesson that applies to many people, especially those who had the privilege of sharing good times with him".
Sunday’s match will therefore be full of meaning also because it comes a year (and a day) after Mihajlovic’s passing: "It will be an extra push and stimulus for this group – explained the current Bologna coach -: the spirit of Sinisa è with us, I hope he can continue to lend a hand to this group so that it continues to grow".
