Match7 Nov 2026

No end in sight to Hellas Verona's wait for a win

12 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hellas Verona has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad9 Nov 2026

A one-man rearguard from Lorenzo Montipò

There were 11 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Nothing got past Victor Nelsson

35 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Match4 Nov 2026

Hellas Verona bow out of the cup

Sampdoria go through and Hellas Verona go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Match9 Nov 2026

Hellas Verona are in real trouble now

Position 18, 9 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Nothing got past Suat Serdar

29 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

A chastening introduction for David Odia — 5.77

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.77 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Abdou Harroui

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Sandi Lovrić in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hellas Verona this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market7 Sep 2026

Junior Ajayi asks to leave Hellas Verona

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A one-man rearguard from Lorenzo Montipò

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

A first appearance Ruben Akalé will want to forget — 5.79

Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.79, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

Market7 Sep 2026

Juan Brunetta raises the bar for Hellas Verona

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Hellas Verona heard it as anything else.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Juan Brunetta falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market7 Sep 2026

Roberto Gagliardini attracts admirers

The name of Roberto Gagliardini has come up in conversations Hellas Verona were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Match5 Sep 2026

AC Milan take the points off Hellas Verona

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Hellas Verona

Rafik Belghali was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Juan Brunetta wants out of the spotlight

The ambition story running the other way, and the one nobody tells: a footballer asking for a smaller stage, fewer cameras and a crowd that does not turn. It is not weakness and it is very rarely reported as anything else.

In brief
