Free agent
The 26-year-old joins on a free transfer after his previous club, Torino Calcio, did not take up the option to sign him when his six-month contract expired last month. He now faces a battle for the No1 jersey at Bologna with former Italian international Gianluca Pagliuca.
Spell in Turin
Manninger joined Torino in January following a spell without a club after RCD Espanyol cancelled his contract less than a month after signing him last summer. He had previously appeared in Serie A with AC Fiorentina while on loan from Arsenal FC.
