Bologna president Albano Guaraldi has suspended four directors for forgetting about new signing Ibson.
The Brazilian midfielder arrived at Renato Dell'Ara during the January window, but was left stranded at the airport when four of the team's staff forgot that he was coming.
Mediaset reports Guaraldi was furious at this news, and has since suspended the backroom staff.
Technical director Adrian Polenta, general secretary Luca Belfani, communications director Carlo Caliceti and marketing executive Andrea Battacchi have all been put on leave until further notice.
