The first ever derby of Verona in Serie A took place on 18 November 2001, while both teams were ranked among the top four. The match was won by Hellas, 3–2.

For the last few months Anglo-Italian novelist Tim Parks has been writing of his devotion to Italian football club Hellas Verona in The Guardian. In A Season with Verona we get a chance to read the full and absorbing narrative that lay behind those short snippets. This is another category with lots of strong candidates. Sarri’s success at Lazio should not be underestimated, and Palladino’s immediate impact at Monza has marked him out as one to watch. Vincenzo Italiano has probably put together the best two-year stretch of any Serie A manager, inheriting a Fiorentina side who had battled against relegation and taking them to consecutive top-half finishes and this term to two cup finals.Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules.

No. During the 2015–16 season, Verona had not won a single match since the beginning of the campaign until the club edged Atalanta 2–1 on 3 February 2016 in a win at home; coming twenty-three games into the season.

[9] Adrian Mutu, a young Romanian striker who had been rejected by Inter, made his first significant appearance in the book when he scored and enthusiastically celebrated in the Partita della fede(the Match of Faith). The young Romanian clearly hadn’t read the script, as this was a charity match that no one was supposed to win, let alone celebrate doing so. Mutu scored four goals that season (and twelve the next), before going on to enjoy spells at Parma, Chelsea, Juventus and Fiorentina. A formidable talent on the pitch, off it he was difficult to manage and never far from controversy, later serving bans for testing positive for cocaine and other controlled substances.

It was a fantastic time of my life and a fantastic experience that year when I travelled with the Brigate Gialloblùto all the games and barely did anything but live football and plan away games and make new friends and shout myself hoarse every week. I wouldn’t like to spoil it now with something that couldn’t catch that crazy energy.” A Season with Verona, the cult classic by Tim Parks, charted the highs and lows of one memorable season spent following Hellas Verona.
