In the 1984–85 season, manager Osvaldo Bagnoli guided Hellas Verona F.C. to its only Serie A championship, shocking the Italian football public.

Season

Hellas Verona added to its lineup Briegel (fullback), Preben Elkjær (centre forward), Fanna (winger), Di Gennaro (midfielder) and Galderisi (striker).[1] Bagnoli's side had a good first half of league, losing only a game: it was on Avellino's pitch, where - in the last few minutes - Hellas gave up a 2–1 knockout.[2]

In retour matches, the team achieved its best results in key games.[3][4] This path - unexpected by most part of its supporters - came to climax on 12 May 1985, the Sunday on which, by drawing at Atalanta's home, Verona clinched its first domestic title.[5]
