The 2010-11 campaign delivered a season of consistent mid-table security for Chievo Verona as the Gialloblu, under the guidance of manager Stefano Pioli, secured a respectable 11th-place finish in Serie A. Leading the line with his trademark tenacity was the club's captain and legend, Sergio Pellissier, whose 11 goals proved vital in a campaign built on defensive solidity and key upsets, including a memorable 2-1 victory over defending champions Inter. It was a stable year that cemented the 'Flying Donkeys'' status in the top flight and remains a steady, fondly-remembered chapter in their history.
