Hellas Verona and Pisa, the last and second-to-last placed teams in the Italian Championship, both with 14 points, announced this Monday the dismissal of their respective coaches, Paolo Zanetti and Alberto Gilardino, after further negative results in the competition.

Gilardino was dismissed on Sunday night, after Pisa's defeat the previous day to Sassuolo (3-1).
The former striker, who won the World Cup with the Italian national team in 2006, had taken over the team in June of last year, replacing Filippo Inzaghi, the coach who led the Tuscan club back to Serie A.
Pisa, which has only won one game this season, is second-to-last in the league due to having a better goal difference than Verona, which on Sunday was thrashed by Cagliari 4-0.
Zanetti, meanwhile, had been in charge since June 2024 and last season saved Verona from relegation.
In the current campaign, however, the team has managed only two wins and suffered 13 defeats in 23 games, holding the bottom spot in the competition.
By a coincidence in the schedule, Verona will host Pisa next Friday (6th), in the match that will open the 24th round of the Italian Championship.
