Chair backs in the A series
Hellas Verona is experiencing a change in the sporting leadership after a largely quiet season with early relegation, some great results and ninth place in the table in Serie A. On Saturday, the club from Veneto said goodbye to coach Igor Tudor and long-time sports director Tony D’Amico.
In September 2021, Tudor took over from Eusebio Di Francesco, who had only signed at the beginning of the season and had lost the first three league games. After that, the Croatian coach consolidated the Gialloblu and played some very respectable football. Over 36 competitive games he scored an average of 1.47 points with Hellas.

However, Tudor had initially only signed until the start of the season – and has now apparently decided to leave. Andrea Pirlo’s ex-juventus assistant coach has been linked in Turkish media with a return to Galatasaray, where he worked from February to December 2017 – but this information has not yet been picked up by the most serious sources. So it remains to be seen.

Hellas Verona: Udinese’s Cioffi to follow Tudor – D’Amico to Atalanta
According to “Sky”, a successor is already available in Italy: Gabriele Cioffi is said to come from Udinese Calcio and sign a two-year contract. The 46-year-old was Luca Gotti’s assistant for a long time in Friuli – when he was released, he took over with a contract until June 30th. Paolo Zanetti, who led Venezia to Serie A but was unable to prevent direct relegation, is said to be his successor.
D’Amico’s departure from Hellas, according to the club’s announcement, had become apparent in the past few months. The 42-year-old is said to be one of the Italian hopes in his sphere of responsibility and is said to be facing a move to Atalanta BC, who have missed out on the European Cup this season. After a dispute with coach Gian Piero Gasperini, long-time manager Giovanni Sartori left La Dea at the end of the season. D’Amico was head of scouting from 2016 to 2018 and sporting director since then.
