Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic is set to be made an honorary citizen of the Emilian city.
Mihajlovic has been battling leukaemia since the summer and made his sickness public by holding a press conference in July.
He remained Bologna boss and delegated roles to his staff, giving instructions via video conferences from Sant’Orsola hospital in the city, while making sporadic appearances at Rossoblu games early in the season.
In mid-November, the former Lazio and Sampdoria defender left hospital after he finished his third cycle of chemotherapy and underwent a bone marrow transplant.
He returned to the dugout for the 3-2 defeat to Milan on Sunday.
“A brother and son of Bologna, the council – during today’s meeting – unanimously approved the agenda to give Sinisa Mihajlovic honorary citizenship,” read a tweet by Bologna city council.
The Serb has been in charge of Bologna since January of this year, replacing Filippo Inzaghi, and guided the Emilian side to safety in 2018-19.
