Bologna coach Mhajlovic staying calm amid sack rumours

Bologna coach Sinisa Mhajlovic says he's staying calm after their 2-2 draw with Spezia.

There's doubts about Mihajlovic's position at Bologna after a poor start to the season.

“My state of mind is the same as it was after Verona, Salernitana or Lazio, all games where we had the chances to win after a strong start," Mihajlovic said in a press conference.

“We weren't courageous enough after taking the lead, we didn't keep attacking them, we didn't push our wing-backs up on their centre-backs. We sat back and Spezia took control. It was only a matter of time before we conceded.

“For now, I don't get that feeling. I won't start worrying in advance, I just try to give my best and continue along my way.

“In football, there are only sacked coaches and those who will be sacked. I try to stay on my toes as long as I am the Bologna coach."

He added, “I expect to wake up in the morning, still be alive and go to work on the pitch with the same grit I always have done. That is all I can control, and I won't waste time thinking about what I cannot control.

“If it happens, it happens. My conscience is clear."
