A year in football can feel like an eternity, and what a difference a year makes. Just twelve months ago, we were salivating over Bologna’s determined charge toward the Champions League’s holy grail.

Among the heroes of Bologna’s ascent, two were swiftly recruited by bigger clubs in the

football sea.

Zirkzee found himself swept into Manchester United’s whirlpool, while tactical genius Thiago Motta was snagged by the giants of Turin, Juventus.

Yet, Zirkzee's time in red has left fans wanting more, and Motta has already exited the Juventus stage after just two transfer windows.

Despite a hefty war chest, Juventus now grapples with its own crisis. The Bianconeri have a penchant for turning to familiar faces during turbulent times. Motta has been replaced by former star Igor Tudor, who now takes the helm on a short-term deal.

Today, we’re thrilled to welcome back the insightful Italian football expert, Daniele Fisichella, to navigate the latest challenges facing the Old Lady.
