Luigi Delneri has been confirmed as the new head coach of Serie A outfit Hellas Verona.
The 65-year-old has replaced Andrea Mandorlini, who was sacked yesterday evening following a five-year stint at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi helm.
"I thank the club for the opportunity they have given me, I was really missing football," Delneri told reporters at his unveiling press conference this afternoon.
"Verona is a great place and the club can be proud of its brilliant support. The first thing that I must work on above all is the squad's mental state."
The veteran boss has previously managed a host of clubs, including Porto, Roma and Juventus.
