A tough home loss against Livorno cost Fabio Grosso his job as Verona manager, and the team quickly began their search for a replacement. After finding an agreement with the club, Alfredo Aglietti will soon sign a contract and make himself the club's new manager, with the objective to bring Pazzini and his teammates to the playoff final. Aglietti last managed Virtus Entella, leaving the club in May 2018.
