Hellas Verona F.C.

Detail as per below mentioned.

In 1903, an elite group of high school students and called Hellas after the suggestion from a professor of classical studies. In an era when football was only played in a serious manner in the major cities of northwestern part of Italy the majority of Verona was not interested in the ever-growing sport. But when, in 1906, two teams from the city picked Verona's Roman amphitheatre for a place to play the sport The enthusiasm of the crowds and the media interest began to grow.

For the first few seasons, Hellas was one of three or four teams from the area that were playing on a municipal scale as they battled against rival city teams Bentegodi to be the city's top football team. In 1907-08, Hellas had been playing regional clubs, and an fierce battle with Vicenza that continues until this day was established.

Between 1898 and in 1926 Italian soccer was organized into groups of regional players. In that time, Hellas was one of the first teams to join the league's early days and was often one of the top contenders for its finals. When the league was established in 1911, the town of Hellas take over the earlier dirty soccer fields by providing a more appropriate location. The team was able to play in their first regional championship and, up to 1926 was the stage to qualify to compete for the national championship.

After 1919 and the returning to action following an absence of four years from the entire football field during Italy throughout World War I, the team was merged with rival city Verona which changed their name Hellas Verona. In 1926-29 the top teams of the "Campionato Nazionale" took on the top teams from regional groups in the region. Hellas Verona joined the privileged teams, but struggled to compete.

Serie A, as it is today, was founded in 1929 at the time that it was formed in 1929, when the Campionato Nazionale turned into a professional league. It was still an amateur team. Hellas was merged with two rival cities, Bentegodi and Scaligera, to create AC Verona. Looking to create a world class team for the future the team was first introduced as part of Serie B in 1929. It took the gialloblu for 28 years before they could get there. After being first elevated up to Serie A for one season in 1957-58, by 1959 the team merged with a rival city team (called Hellas) and commemorated its founding by changing the name of the team in to Hellas Verona AC.

Led by coach Nils Liedholm The team was relegated in Serie A in 1968 and was in the elite league until the year 1990. In the process, it recorded a memorable 5-3 win during the 1972-73 season, which ended up costing Milan its Scudetto (the Serie A title). It is also noteworthy that this win occurred late in the final game in the league makes the abrupt and unexpected end of the rossoneri's title dreams to be all the more memorable.

From 1973 to 1974, Hellas finished the season in fourth place, narrowly getting past relegation. However, they were nevertheless relegated to Serie B during the summer months following an affair involving team chief Saverio Garonzi. After a time being in Serie B, Hellas returned to Serie A.

In the 1975-76 period, the team enjoyed a great campaign in Coppa Italia, removing teams that were highly rated like Torino, Cagliari and Internazionale from the competition. In their first ever final of the tournament, Hellas were trounced 4-0 by Napoli.

Under the guidance under Coach Osvaldo Bagnoli, from 1982-83 the team finished fourth with a fourth-place finish in Serie A (its highest finish in the period) and was even in the top spot of in the Serie A standings for a couple of weeks. In the same year, Hellas again made it to their first Coppa Italy final. After a 2-0 win at home, Hellas then travelled to Turin to face Juventus but lost by 3-0 in extra time.

The disappointment continued during the 1983-84 season, where the team reached their Coppa Italia semifinal, but lost the Cup in the closing moments of the game against the current Serie A champions Roma

The team was the first to make a European appearance during the season 1983-1984 UEFA Cup and were knocked out in the second round with Sturm Graz. Hellas lost the tournament in 1985 and 1986. European Cup in the second round by the champions, the defending champions, and their fellow Serie A side Juventus after an uncontested game. This was due to a scandalous arbitrage made by French Wurtz after having defeated PAOK from Greece in the opening round.

The team in 1988 achieved the best international record as they reached the UEFA Cup quarterfinals with four wins with three draws. The final loss came from German team Werder Bremen.

The 1984-85 squad comprised an array of young players and established players in the early stages of the season, no one would have thought of this team as possessing the required components to reach the final. Certain, the additions of Hans-Peter Briegel as a midfielder as well as Danish striker Preben Elkjaer to a team which already had the wing-play from Pietro Fanna, the creative talents from Antonio Di Gennaro and the scoring skills from Giuseppe Galderisi were to prove vital.

For instance, to mention some of the most memorable moments on the way to the scudetto. A crucial win over Juventus (2-0) and Elkjaer scoring the goal after he lost an errant boot that was just outside the box setting the tone for the first game of the championship. an away win against Udinese (5-3) brought to an end any notion of the club losing its energy towards the midway point. three consecutive victories (including an arduous 1-0 win against a formidable Roma team) showed that the team kept their focus and polish throughout their opponents' final surge. A one-sided draw at Bergamo against Atalanta won the title with a match at the bag.

Hellas ended the year with a record of 15-13-2 and 43 points, which is four points clear of Torino and with Internazionale and Sampdoria finishing in the top four places. The unusual final table for the Serie A (with the most efficient Italian teams at the time, Juventus and Roma, finishing less than was expected) is the subject of a lot of speculations. In 1984, it was the first season in which referees were assigned to games via an random draw. Prior to this, every referee previously been allocated to a certain match by a separate group made up of officials (designatori arbitrali). Following the scandal surrounding betting in the early 1980s (the Calcio Scommesse scandal) the decision was made to get rid of the stigma of Italian football by assigning referees in a random manner instead of deciding them to dispel the doubts and allegations that have always accompanied Italy's football world. This led to a less tense championship, and an surprise final table.

The following season, which was again won by Juventus In the following season, Juventus won again, but the selection of referees was left to the arbitral designators. A 2006 significant incident in Italian football exposed that some clubs were illegally influencing the process of selecting referees in order to ensure that specific referees were appointed to their games.

These were far more than modest accomplishments for a city that was not appealing to the national fan base. However, soon enough financial issues affected team managers. The team disbanded in 1991 and was revived under the name of Verona which was constantly moving between Serie A and Serie B for a number of seasons. In 1995, the team's name was changed in to Hellas Verona.

After a period of three years their final stint within Serie A ended in grief in 2002. In that season, emerging international stars like Adrian Mutu, Mauro Camoranesi, Alberto Gilardino, Martin Laursen, Massimo Oddo, Marco Cassetti and coach Alberto Malesani did not make the most of the great start. The team eventually fell to fourth place in the very first game in the season long on the final day, forcing relegation to Serie B.

After the 2002 relegation into Serie B, team fortunes fell through the decade. In 2003-04, Hellas Verona struggled in Serie B and spent the majority of the season fighting an unimaginable drop in Serie C1. Unfazed, the fans backed their team, and the team's string of wins in the final stages stopped the threat. Over 5,000 people accompanied Hellas on their way to Como on the last night of their season be a part of the celebration.

In the 2004-05 season, things appeared more promising in the eyes of Hellas. After a rough beginning, Hellas put together a run of success and rose to third position. The gialloblu kept their place until the beginning of January, which saw transfers weaken the team but they were able to win the fight for Serie A to the last day of the season.

In 2006, the Serie B seemed to start good, thanks to the club's takeover from Pietro Arvedi D'Emilei, which was the end of nine years of controversies with chairman Gianbattista Pastorello, who was heavily contested by fans during his final time at Verona. Then, Verona was immediately involved in the fight to stay in the league as Massimo Ficcadenti was sacked in the month of December by Giampiero Ventura. Even though the team improved in performance, Verona ended in an 18th position, and was forced to play a double match against the 19th placed Spezia in order to avoid being relegated. The defeat at home of 2-1 in the first leg played at La Spezia was followed by the home match being 0-0 followed by a 0-0 draw at home. Verona were dropped to Serie C1 following 64 years of playing in the top two divisions.

Verona appointed head coach Franco Colomba for the new season, with the intention to be back in Serie B as soon as feasible. But, despite being believed to be the most popular team in the division and the most popular team, the gialloblu was able to finish the season in last position. After just seven games, team management fired Colomba in October of this year and substituted him as the youth coach (and ex- Verona footballer) Davide Pellegrini. A new owner purchased the club in the final quarter of 2007 and appointed Giovanni Galli in December as director of football. In addition, he appointed Maurizio Sarri as head coach. The 2007-08 season was in its final quarter the team was still in the bottom in Serie C1, and on the edge of being relegated to the fourth division (Serie C2). As a result, the club's management dismissed Sarri and brought in Pellegrini. Due to a surge in the final weeks of the season, the Scaligeri avoided direct relegation, by qualifying for the play-off for relegation and managed to avoid relegation into Lega Pro Seconda Divisione during the last game by beating Pro Patria 2-1 on aggregate. However, in spite of the dip in performance, attendance and season ticket sales were still at around 15,000 in average.

In 2008-09, Verona hired the former Sassuolo as well as Piacenza coach Gian Marco Remondina with the intention of winning the promotion into Serie B. The season did not begin with a great start as Verona having fallen out of their playoff spot by the middle of season and Chairman Pietro Arvedi D'Emilei entering into an induced coma following his involvement in a collision with a vehicle while returning from a league game in December 2008. Arvedi passed away in March 2009, just two months following Verona was purchased by the new director Giovanni Martinelli.

The following season appeared promising, with new players who had been transferred on board, and the fans eagerly loved the new season. The number of season tickets climbed to more than 10,000, putting Verona ahead of other Serie A teams and all except Torino with respect to Serie B attendance. Verona dominated the standings throughout the season, and had seven points in the early stages into the season's spring. But, the lead was eventually lost and the team was relegated to second in the second game of the year having a chance to take back first spot at the end of the regular season game against Portogruaro at home. Verona did not however impress fans of more than 250,000 fans, and with the defeat, fell to third position and moved to the Play-Offs. A change in management for the post-season resulted in the firing of Remondina and the appointment to Giovanni Vavassori. After defeating Rimini during the semifinals (1-0; the score was 0-0) Verona lost the final to Pescara (2-2 at home as well as 0-1 during the rematch) and was relegated to another season of football in the third division.

The 90 World Cup star Giuseppe Giannini (a famous captain of Roma for a number of years) has been appointed director for 2010-11 season. Again, the team was nearly completely overhauled in the course of the transfer season. The team struggled during the beginning, and Giannini was ultimately dismissed and was replaced by the former Internazionale defensive player Andrea Mandorlini, who succeeded in reorganising Verona's team's play and brought discipline in and out of the field. In the second period of the season Verona recovered from being at the lowest of the division to get a play-off place (fifth position) on the final date of their regular season. Verona advanced into the final of play-offs following defeating Sorrento at the quarterfinals by a score of 3-1 in an aggregate. After the play-off final, in the midst of four consecutive seasons Lega Pro football, Verona were promoted in Serie B after a 2-1 aggregate victory against Salernitana on the 19th of June, 2011.

The 18th May 2013 Verona was 2nd on the 18th of May 2013 in Serie B and were promoted to Serie A after an eleven-year absence. They made their return in the highest of the league was a battle with a match against the title-chasing teams Milan and Roma and won the former with a 2-1 win, before defeating the latter by a score of 3-0. The team continued to progress at an even pace, ending the first part in the league with 32 points, being in sixth position just 11 points off the nearest UEFA Champions League spot--and tied with Internazionale for the final UEFA Europa League spot. Verona was, however, was ranked tenth for the season.

The 2015-16 season was a difficult one. Verona was unable to win any match from the start of the season, until the club beat Atalanta by a score of 2-1 on February 3, 2016 with a victory at home. It was a win that came just 23 games into the campaign. As a result, Verona were relegated from Serie A.

For the duration of year 2016-2017 Serie B season, Hellas Verona was second on the list and were then moved into Serie A. Hellas lasted one season to the highest division, after finishing second in the 2017-18 Serie A season and were moved back in Serie B. The end of the 2018-19 season Hellas placed fifth and were promoted back into Serie A after defeating Cittadella by 3-0 in the second phase of the promotion play-off. The team went on to beat them 3-2 in aggregate.

Verona's return back to top division during the 2019-20 Serie A season, in which it was seen as an extremely strong contender for relegation in the early stages of the season, was very successful, leading to the team finishing in ninth place. The team is heavily dependent on the strength of the defense of the 20-year-old center-back Marash Kumbulla, Amir Rrahmani and goalkeeper Marco Silvestri, along with the consistent performance that midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, Verona was a surprise possibility in the race for Europa League qualification but fell out of contention following an improvement in performance following the outbreak of coronavirus that briefly halted the season. A 2-1 victory at home against eventual title holders Juventus during February proved to be the high point of a campaign in which the club recorded 10 clean sheets and pushed towards the top of the table despite a small budget.

As Verona entered its second consecutive season with Serie A, key players Amrabat, Rrahmani and Kumbulla were taken from Fiorentina, Napoli and Roma respectively, as well as on loan Matteo Pessina returned to Atalanta. This resulted in the club having a the squad severely weakened and was predicted to be struggling in the league before the opening match of the season. Despite the losses during the transfer window Verona was able to finish in the top quartile in the table of league standings, finishing the season 10th having scored 45 points. The breakout seasons of midfielder and attacker Mattia Zaccagni who was later invited to the Italian national team in a way to reward his efforts along with wingbacks Federico Dimarco and Davide Faraoni and Davide Faraoni, are the main reasons for this success. In the final stages in the campaign, the coach Ivan Juric was appointed by Torino following his two stunning Serie A seasons with Verona and the Gialloblu team replacing him with Eusebio Di Francesco.

After another summer transfer window during which many of Inter's top players were traded to Serie A rivals, namely Zaccagni moving from Lazio, Marco Silvestri to Udinese and Dimarco returning to Inter The start in the season 2021-22 proved be a lot more challenging for Verona and its players, since Di Francesco was fired and substituted by Igor Tudor after just three games, which were losses. The poor start to the season has left the club in the bottom position of the list. Under the direction of Tudor the team has regained their competitiveness, securing in the following eight matches , three wins including wins against Lazio and Juventus with four draws, and one loss.

The colors of the team are blue and yellow. The club's most popular name can be described as gialloblu meaning "yellow-blue" which means "yellow-blue" in Italian. The colors symbolize the city and Verona's symbol (a yellow cross with blue shield) appears on the majority of uniforms. The kits for home are usually blue, with a few times navy hue, and paired with yellow trim and details however, Verona has featured the blue and yellow stripes pattern on occasion. Two other team nicknames can be found in Mastini (the mastiffs) and Scaligeri which both refer to Mastino I della Scala of the Della Scala princes who were in charge of the city in the 13th and 14th centuries.

It is the Scala family's coat-of-arms can be seen on the jersey of the team and on its logo, which is stylized images of two massive, powerful mastiffs that face opposite directions. The design was first introduced in 1995. The term "scaligeri" can be used to refer to Veronese and can therefore refer to anything or anyone that is from Verona (e.g., Chievo Verona Chievo Verona, a team which also ties itself with the Scala family, specifically with Cangrande I, the first Scala).

From 1963 onwards, they has been playing at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi that has the capacity of 39,211. The stadium was shared with Hellas's opponents, Chievo Verona until 2021. It was used as a location for matches at in the 90 FIFA World Cup.

The intercity matches against Chievo Verona is known in the "Derby dilla Scala". The name is a reference to the Scaligeri or della Scala Aristocratic family that were the rulers of Verona in early in the Middle Ages and early Renaissance. In the 2001-02 season, the two teams Hellas Verona and the city rivals of Chievo Verona were in Serie A. The first derby ever played by Verona within Serie A took place on the 18th of November, 2001. both teams were in the top four teams. The game was lost by Hellas with a score of 3-2. Chievo was able to get revenge in the rematch in spring 2002, taking the match 2-1. Verona is now the 5th city of Italy after Milan, Rome, Turin and Genoa to host a cross-town derby within Serie A.
