Sinisa Mihajlovic begins his treatment for leukaemia tomorrow and will continue to work as Bologna Coach with the aid of technology.

The club and tactician were very clear in Saturday’s Press conference that he will remain in his role even after the diagnosis, although at times he might not always be on the bench.

Sinisa Mihajlovic wrote an open letter to thank everyone for their support after his leukaemia diagnosis. “I’ve run out of tears, now I am ready to fight. We’ll see each other soon.”

The 50-year-old Bologna Coach and former player revealed the news in an emotional Press conference at the weekend and messages poured in from all over the Calcio world.
