Alberto Malesani is facing the sack at Bologna if they lose this weekend against AC Milan.

The Felsinei have lost four games in a row in Serie A, although they have already ensured their top-flight survival in advance.

Even so, the board is unhappy with the attitude Bologna are showing on the pitch and have lost patience with Malesani.

If Bologna were to lose at San Siro, Gazzetta dello Sport says Malesani would be sacked and Paolo Magnani would be promoted from the Primavera.
