Bologna have announced a new strategic step for their squad, with the arrival of Mbangula, who arrives after Rowe's departure. Sports director Marco DiVaio explained that the negotiation was the last market operation, which occurred at a crucial moment. "It was a delicate moment, but we followed Mbangula closely at Juventus, where he proved to have an important role. We brought him with us because we believe he can contribute to our project," DiVaio said in an interview with DAZN ahead of the next match against Monza, which will take place on the tenth matchday of SerieA.
The club also reiterated its commitment to improving the team's form, underlining the importance of new coach Palladino. "With Palladino we expected a change of direction. The coach and his staff are doing a great job", declared DiVaio. Bologna have achieved ten points in five games with the new team, and the sporting director is optimistic about the future. “We have two more games which can give us precious points to get the team even further out of the situation we were in,” he added, highlighting the need to consolidate the position in the standings.
The new signing, Mbangula, has been described as a player with experience and quality, capable of adding depth to the attack. "He was on his way out, but we followed him carefully. In Italy he has already shown moments of great value and we believe he can be a key element for Bologna", explained DiVaio. Mbangula's arrival comes at a time when the team is looking to consolidate their position in the league table and avoid the relegation zone.
Bologna, who have had a turbulent season, are trying to get back on track thanks to the new technical direction and recent arrivals. With Palladino in charge and Mbangula ready to enter the field, the club hopes to transform their form and achieve positive results in the upcoming matches. The next match against Monza will be a crucial test for the team, which will try to demonstrate the solidity of the work carried out by the new staff and consolidate its position in the SerieA standings.
