The 2003-04 campaign was a season of intense drama and a desperate fight for survival for Hellas Verona as the Gialloblu finished 19th in Serie B. Facing the unthinkable threat of relegation to the third tier for much of the year, the team’s status was ultimately secured by a spirited late-season surge and crucial victories under manager Sergio Maddè. Leading the charge was the Albanian forward Florian Myrtaj, whose 13 league goals proved vital in anchoring the attack during this turbulent period. Supported by a loyal following of over 5,000 fans who traveled to the final match in Como to celebrate their safety, the season marked a resilient escape from the drop and remains a poignant chapter of grit in the club's modern history.
