The 2022-23 campaign delivered a season of resilience and record-breaking achievement for Bologna, as the Rossoblu finished 9th in Serie A with 54 points, their highest total in the three-point era. The season was defined by the emotional mid-season managerial change following the sacking and subsequent death of beloved former coach Siniša Mihajlović, and the arrival of Thiago Motta. Spearheading the Rossoblu's resurgence was Riccardo Orsolini, whose career-best 11 league goals, all scored under Motta, proved decisive in a campaign built on a formidable home defense and a determined surge up the table, marking a significant step forward for the club.
