President Ferrero had already raised eyebrows before the match at the Stadio Dall’Ara, when he went to give Bologna (and former Samp) Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic a big hug.

“He’s the best Coach in the world!” declared Ferrero to reporters, which won’t have pleased his current tactician Marco Giampaolo.
