Hellas Verona makes official the sacking of Gabriele Cioffi

Cioffi Street

All that was missing was the officialization. That punctually arrived early Tuesday afternoon.

“Verona – Hellas Verona FC announces that it has relieved Gabriele Cioffi from the post of First Team coach. The Gialloblù club thanks coach Cioffi and his staff for their work,” reads the note from the Verona club.

The Veneti, who have collected four defeats in a row, are in the lower reaches of the top league standings with 5 points.

For the past two years the Scudetto has been won by Milanese teams, first Inter and then AC Milan. Previously, for nine seasons in a row, it had gone to Juventus, which was able to win it with first Antonio Conte on the bench (three wins for the Salento native), then Massimiliano Allegri (five) and then Maurizio Sarri, who, however, was later replaced by Andrea Pirlo. At the beginning of the millennium, the last two Scudetti went to teams with non-vertical striped jerseys: Lazio won it in 2000, Roma in 2001.
