Everything is ready for the investiture. But, barring incredible surprises, between Tuesday and Wednesday Paolo Zanetti from Valdagno will become the new coach of Hellas Verona. Above all, he will be the man who, in the hearts of the fans and within a dressing room which, once again, will be revolutionized, will have to replace the much-loved Marco Baroni who, courted by many, chose Lazio for a high jump that he he deserved it. Baroni left no doubts from the start, he didn’t deceive anyone even in the happy post-match with Inter in the final act. And he chose, despite having an extraordinary relationship with the Gialloblù transfer manager Sean Sogliano, to separate from Maurizio Setti’s club.
successor

The choice of the replacement was made immediately with some technicians who proposed themselves, the choice of Sogliano fell on Zanetti who already knows the Serie A and is animated by strong intentions of redemption, returning to his Veneto where he did the best things and where he married. Also at stake (same team, D’Amico, as Zanetti) was Massimo Donati who lived in Verona this year because he led Legnago to great effect in Serie C. So good that he attracted the attention of some clubs, especially B, where it will end. Hellas has placed strong bets on the forty-one-year-old coach from Valdagno who plays proactive football and in 2021 he brought Venezia to Serie A. This feat earned him a strong line of credit which, despite his dismissal in April 2022, allowed him brought to the bench of Empoli, again in Serie A. In Tuscany the experience of the Venetian coach was good in the first season in which he achieved excellent safety with three matchdays to spare, but it was not positive in the one just ended . Zanetti missed out after four games, thanks above all to a very heavy 7-0 defeat against Roma at the Olimpico. Replaced by Aurelio Andreazzoli then in turn replaced by Davide Nicola who saved president Fabrizio Corsi’s club.
contract and withdrawal
—
The new Gialloblù coach should join Maurizio Setti’s club on a two-year contract. As soon as the hiring of the new coach is official, we will talk about the new team, which will certainly lose Folorunsho, on loan from Napoli, and will carry out its training camp on high ground from 15 to 28 July in Folgaria in Trentino.
andreazzoli towards Cagliari
—
A move not to be missed. Getting the choice right after Ranieri at Cagliari sounds like a complicated chess game, both for the club and for sporting director Nereo Bonato. This is why we work calmly. The names at the top of the list initially were those of Marco Baroni and Paolo Vanoli. Now Aurelio Andreazzoli is back in fashion, experienced in Serie A and used to performing at his best with a young team as desired by president Tommaso Giulini for the Cagliari of the future. Andreazzoli who is also a skilled manager and mediator within the dressing room, with the club which after the Ranieri era would not like to start again with an iron sergeant on the bench but with a “normalizer”. And in this sense, another profile that the Sardinians have paid attention to recently is that of Vincenzo Vivarini. A project coach who laid the solid foundations of a record-breaking Catanzaro in Serie C and capable of coming close to the Serie A dream at the first try. Luca Gotti and Francesco Calzona remain among the candidates but more out of the way, already in Cagliari as Eusebio Di Francesco’s deputy in 2020.
cannavaro and udine
—
Fabio Cannavaro landed in Ibiza yesterday to spend a few days of holiday. His position remains pending and the two-hour meeting earlier this week with Gino Pozzo did not lead to any white smoke. The club understood that the coach achieved a great feat by going to play the decisive match in Frosinone in a very complicated situation with many injured people. In short, he performed a miracle that all of Udine recognizes in him. The square, in which, moreover, Neapolitans are certainly not few, wants Cannavaro’s reconfirmation. But Gino Pozzo takes his time. And in the meantime he will also have contact with Vincenzo Vivarini who will also speak with Cagliari and which Venezia has now also entered. The trail that leads to Eusebio Di Francesco seems to have gone cold. Because he is seen as the coach that Udinese sent to Serie B. If anything, there could be a flashback for Leonardo Semplici who had already been linked to the Friulian club in the past.
