A family photo, the first after Monday’s resignation from the Sant’Orsola Hospital: after the thirty-four days spent in the Seragnoli hematology ward, the Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic enjoys her affections and the partner of the Serbian technician, Arianna Rapaccioni, posted on her social networks the images of a walk together at the Tor di Quinto lake in Rome. Sinisa and Arianna, smiling side by side, with a pink stroller in which there is the granddaughter Violante, born last October from the union between the daughter of the coach Virginia and the Benevento defender Alessandro Vogliacco: precisely the distance forced by her family in the last month was the heaviest aspect of Mihajlovic’s new hospitalization, who is now trying to make up for lost time. The Serbian spent Monday evening cuddling his granddaughter (“Welcome back grandpa, we missed you so much”, Virginia Mihajlovic posted in her Instagram stories, immortalizing the contact between the two), today the three-way walk with his wife Arianna, the only one who during the hospitalization was able to enter the hematology department for a fleeting visit, despite all the necessary anti-Covid precautions.
Back on the bench
Monday Mihajlovic was discharged “in good general conditions” and after a couple of days in Rome with his family he will listen to the strong call of the field: on Thursday he should return to Casteldebole to direct a training session for the team (which in his absence, in six championship, he never lost) and almost certainly on Sunday, barring mishaps, he will lead Bologna on the bench on the field of Venice, at Penzo. A trip that is not very simple from a logistical point of view – the stadium can only be reached by sea – for those who have to travel in sanitized environments, but Bologna is preparing everything and even the resignation of the coach has arrived with the immune defenses already recovering: strict confidentiality is in force, rightly, on what will be the medical path that awaits Mihajlovic in the coming weeks. In 2019 the technician underwent three chemotherapy cycles before the bone marrow transplant to beat leukemia, which returned last March to ring alarm bells that required the new cycle of treatments. Now I rest, family and camp, to rediscover the smile, the affections and a bit of normalcy while waiting to resume the journey.
