Mihajlovic discharged from hospital in ´good condition´ after undergoing leukaemia treatment

Sinisa Mihajlovic has been discharged from hospital “in good condition” after undergoing further leukaemia treatment, Bologna have announced.

The Serbian coach, who enjoyed an illustrious playing career in Serie A with the likes of Roma, Sampdoria, Lazio and Inter, was first diagnosed with the disease in 2019 and underwent a bone marrow transplant in October 2019, returning to the Bologna dugout just six weeks later.

Mihajlovic revealed in late March that routine tests had discovered “some alarm bells”, leading him to step back from hands-on coaching duties for an unspecified amount of time and to declare “this disease is very courageous in returning to face an opponent like me.”

An encouraging social media update from his club announced the news of Mihajlovic’s exit from hospital on Monday.

“Sinisa Mihajlovic was today discharged from the Sant’Orsola Hospital, in good condition. Forza Mister, we are with you,” read the tweet from Bologna’s official account.

Mihajlovic’s team have been in excellent form in Serie A of late, earning results against each of Milan, Juventus, Inter, and Roma during a six-match unbeaten run, with the 53-year-old receiving a surprise visit from his squad after they beat the title-chasing Nerazzurri 2-1 in dramatic fashion last week.
