On July 21, 2020, Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic tested positive for COVID-19, forcing him to remain in isolation for two weeks, according to the Serie A club.
Mihajlovic, 51, had guided Bologna to a 12th-placed finish in the Italian top flight last season despite being treated for leukaemia.
Having made a full recovery after undergoing three courses of chemotherapy, Mihajlovic remains in a high-risk group due to his recent history of serious illness.
"Our coach is completely asymptomatic but will remain in isolation for the next two weeks in line with national guidelines," the club stated.
As a precautionary measure, the entire Primavera (youth) team group underwent medical tests, with all results returning as negative. First team players and staff will undergo tests the following day.
