Overview
The amazing underdog story of how Hellas Verona conquered the giants of Italian football to become Serie A champions. Published to mark the 40th anniversary of Verona’s achievement, this authentic footballing fairy tale is brought to life through exclusive interviews with players, journalists and fans.
By Richard Hough, an experienced writer and historian who has been immersed in Italian life and football for more than a decade.
Read and discover how:
- International stars such as Platini, Maradona, Rummenigge, Sócrates, Júnior, Laudrup, Souness, Hateley and Wilkins were drawn to the peninsula that season, making Serie A the most competitive and prestigious league in the world
- Innovative new managers, such as Sven-Göran Eriksson, competed with veterans like Giovanni Trapattoni to get their hands on the coveted Albo d'oro del campionato Italiano di calcio, or ‘il Scudetto’ as it is commonly known
- Verona’s idiosyncratic manager Osvaldo Bagnoli patiently assembled a tight-knit squad of accomplished but unspectacular homegrown players, plus two astute foreign signings: the former German pentathlete Hans-Peter Briegel and the mercurial but underachieving Dane, Preben Elkjær Larsen
- Eighties Italian culture forms a compelling backdrop to the story
- The team’s monumental triumph still resonates in the city today
Perfect for any football fan with an interest in the game’s history – plus anyone who enjoys an underdog story – this gripping book uncovers how a team came from nowhere to shock the footballing world with one of the most remarkable sporting achievements of all time.
