Bocchetti's experience in Verona
The former Genoa and Milan defender, born in 1986, was promoted to coach of the Verona first team in October 2022, after Cioffi's dismissal, which at that time was in third-to-last place, as it did not have a UEFA qualification Pro required to coach in Serie A, the exemption is granted for only one month. Despite the defeat on his debut against Milan, on 20 October he renewed his contract with the yellow and blue until 2027. Another 5 consecutive defeats followed and, having expired in the meantime the exemption granted to him, from 4 December Verona chose Marco Zaffaroni as head coach, supported by Bocchetti himself at the helm of the team. The two finish the regular season in third-last place, equal on points with Spezia, but Verona maintains the category by winning the play-off match with a result of 3-1.
