The 2021-22 campaign was a season of top-flight consolidation for Bologna, with the Rossoblu ultimately securing a respectable 13th-place finish in Serie A under the enduring management of Siniša Mihajlović. Leading the charge and providing the crucial attacking spark was the maverick Austrian striker Marko Arnautović, whose 14 league goals anchored the team's offense throughout the year. The season, while inconsistent, successfully secured their seventh consecutive year in the Italian top flight and saw the crucial development of young talents like Aaron Hickey, marking a defining chapter of mid-table stability and growth for the club.
