Though they are not due to play until Sunday evening, Hellas Verona\u2019s relegation from Serie A has been mathematically confirmed following Lecce\u2019s 2-1 victory away against Pisa on Friday night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Two sides were officially relegated on Friday evening: 20th-placed Pisa were defeated at home by the 17th-placed Lecce, which means that they are now 14 points deep into the relegation zone with just three games of the season left to play and are no longer able to reach safety.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Verona, who will play against Juventus on Sunday, are only one point better off than Pisa on 19 points after 34 matches. They are 13 points deep into the relegation zone with four matches left to play, which confirms that they will also finish the 2025-26 season in the bottom three.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been a disappointing season for Verona, who have only picked up three wins in the league all season; their first coming at home against Atalanta on December 6. This led to the dismissal of Paolo Zanetti as head coach on February 2, who was replaced by interim Paolo Sammarco the following day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Verona will now return to the second tier of Italian football for the first time since the 2018-19 season, when they finished the Serie B campaign in fifth place, gaining promotion through the play-offs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
