The 2006-07 campaign was a devastating and turbulent one for Hellas Verona as the Gialloblu finished 18th in Serie B, which forced them into a fateful relegation play-off. This difficult season saw the club navigate a crucial administrative change following a takeover, yet the on-pitch struggles persisted. Forward Antimo Iunco led the team's scoring charts with 5 goals, but it was insufficient to secure their status. After a heartbreaking play-off defeat to Spezia, the historic club was relegated to Serie C1, marking the painful end of a proud 64-year continuous spell in the top two Italian divisions.
