Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has welcomed new signing Nicolas Viola.

Bologna announced the signing of Viola as a free agent this week. The 32 year-old midfielder arrives after being released by Benevento.

“We've spoken about what I expect from him and his characteristics," said Mihajlovic.

“Right now he is injured, so he's not available, we'll see what he can give to the team when he returns."
