Bologna’s director Dr. Carmine Longo relieved of his duties with immediate effect: Serie A News
The Serie A club, Bologna, has fired their director Dr. Carmine Longo with immediate effect as it was revealed that he has no plans to pen down a new contract with the club for the upcoming
2011-12 season. This news came as another set-back for the Rossoblu who are just five points clear of the drop zone.
Dr. Carmine, earlier in an interview with a local newspaper, admitted that he has no further plans of continuing with the club and would leave Bologna once the season comes to an end. This
news did not go well with the club’s higher officials and they were forced to pass on the marching orders to Dr. Carmine Longo.
Dr Longo, in his interview clearly mentioned, ''I don't feel at ease in this situation of continual change. Every week the newspapers have something different. I don't understand what's happening
and nothing is particularly clear, so I feel carrying on would be a mistake. I won't resign, as I was asked to stay to the end of the season no matter what.''
This interview did not have any good effect on the person itself and he was forced to make his way out of the club following the statement issued by him.
The club’s official website told, ''Having realised Longo's decision not to extend his rapport with the club for the 2011-12 season, Bologna opted to remove him from his position with immediate
effect. We thank him for the work done for Bologna and wish him the best for his future professional career.'
Now, with the firing of Longo, there are question marks hanging over the future of the former director. Bologna manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alberto-c4309 Malesani’s future is also in doubt after he has failed to
improve upon his performances and take the club any higher than the 12th spot.
Bologna are currently 12th in the table with 40 points and are next up in the League against AC Milan on Sunday, May 1.
With four games remaining to play in the season, Bologna would like to attain maximum points in order to end their struggling campaign on a high.
