JAKARTA - Bologna coach, Sinisa Mihajlovic, must again undergo treatment for leukemia or blood cancer. Now, the man from Serbia must undergo a new cycle in handling the disease.
The 53-year-old, who has been battling the severe disease since 2019, underwent three cycles of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant during his first battle with the disease.
"My recovery after the transplant (bone marrow in 2019) was very good, but unfortunately, the disease is sneaky," Mihajlovic told reporters at a news conference.
From the latest analysis, continued Mihajlovic, several red flags have emerged. He said there may be a risk of the disease re-emerging.
"To prevent this from happening, I was advised to take the path of therapy," he said.
"This time I'm not going to make a sliding tackle like I did two and a half years ago on an opponent running away. I'll start first," he added.

Mihajlovic added that he would be admitted to the Sant'Orsola Malpighi Hospital in Bologna, possibly next week.
Winner of the European Cup with Red Star Belgrade in 1991 and winner of the Cup Winners' Cup with Lazio in 1999, Mihajlovic has also won two Serie A titles and four Italian Cups with Lazio and Inter Milan.
He took charge of Bologna in 2018 when the team was stuck in the relegation zone and made a remarkable transformation as he led them to 10th place.
Bologna is 12th in the last two Serie A seasons and is currently in the same position with 33 points after 29 games.
