The club is owned by Saputo Inc., a Montreal-based Canadian dairy company and its chairman is Joey Saputo. Bologna is coached bySiniša Mihajlović, a Serbian manager. Due to the red-and-blue striped shirts which Bologna players wear, the club is nicknamed I Rossoblù (The Red and Blues) and I Veltri (The Greyhounds). Red and Blue are also the official colors of the city.

Bologna was founded on 7 September 1893 and was one of the founding members of Serie A in 1929. With over 125 years of active football, the club is the fourth oldest football Italian club. The club is the sixth most successful team in the history of the league after winning the Italian league championship seven times.

The club occupies the ninth spot in the ranking of the highest number of appearances of the formations in the highest Italian category.

Consortium Bologna 2010 led by banker Giovanni Consorte and coffee businessman Massimo Zanetti bought the club from Sergio Porcedda on 23 December 2010. This was after Porcedda failed to pay players an coaches’ wages during his short-tenured ownership and put Bologna in threat of bankruptcy. The company also owed agent fee to Leonardo Corsi in Andrea Raggi’s transfer.

On 21 January 2011, Zanetti and CEO Luca Baraldi resigned after only 28 days due to irreconcilable differences and the other personal and financial partners. Marco Pavignani became the club chairman and Stefano Pedrelli emerged the new director-general.
