This season, no Serie A team has fared better than Motta’s Bologna. With the exception of a 1-0 loss to the dominant Inter, they had won eight of their previous nine games. They are just behind to those aforementioned Nerazzurri with 38 points from 16 home games.Several athletes’ careers have changed dramatically as a result of Motta’s coaching. Reaching double figures in successive seasons is Riccardo Orsolini. Orsolini opened the score against Salernitana with an Arjen Robben-esque movement around from the right side and drove past goal with his left boot.
