On 21 June 2018,
Fabio Grosso was appointed manager of Hellas, signing a two-year deal at the newly relegated Serie B club. Grosso was sacked on 1 May 2019 after a shock 3–2 home loss to relegation-threatened
Livorno. He was replaced the next day by
Alfredo Aglietti, with the goal to help the club getting into the promotion playoffs. Under Aglietti's short tenure, he managed to guide the club to fifth place in the regular season, and then to the promotion playoff finals, where Verona defeated
Cittadella to achieve promotion to Serie A after only a single season in the second division. Despite his successes, however, Aglietti was not confirmed for another season, and
Ivan Jurić was named as his replacement in charge of the club a few days later. ==Squad==
