Fortitudo Bologna is extending the contract with manager Marco Nanni according to a report by Grande Slam. He will stay for three more years. After winning the championship in 2009 and reaching the Italian Baseball Series in 2010, Bologna was eliminated in the semi-final round this year. They were ranked second with a 29-13 record following the regular season, but won just four of nine games in the semis to miss out on the finals. Nanni also worked as bench coach for Marco Mazzieri with the Italian National Team this year.
