Nicolò Filippi puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Virtus Verona, and it is not being withdrawn.

Virtus Verona sign Tommaso Maressa for $330.0K

The paperwork is done: Tommaso Maressa joins from Bra in a deal worth $330.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Tempers go at Virtus Verona

Manuel Daffara 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.

Graduation day at Virtus Verona

3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Virtus Verona spend $330.0K on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $330.0K for Tommaso Maressa, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Nicola Patanè 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.

Market24 Aug 2026

Angelo Bertoni steps up from the Virtus Verona academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Angelo Bertoni has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Franco De Simone steps up from the Virtus Verona academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Franco De Simone has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Virtus Verona turn down the training-ground plan

It is the quietest way a club tells you what its ambitions are. The money was asked for, the money was refused, and the people who work there every day now know exactly where they stand.

A move Jonny Arriba would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Jonny Arriba is living that version at Virtus Verona, and it tends to show in the first month.

Francesco Toffanin signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Francesco Toffanin and Virtus Verona agree another 4 years.

Talks stall between Virtus Verona and Michael Fabbro

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market10 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Marco Amadio's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

9 seasons of Sheikh Sibi

149 appearances across 9 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Virtus Verona know what they have.

Michael De Marchi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Michael De Marchi and Virtus Verona agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
