New American ownership in Serie A. Hellas Verona has reached an agreement with the Presidio Investors fund to take over from Maurizio Setti 100% of the Veneto club's shares that were held through Star Ball. The closing is scheduled for mid-January. The negotiations were conducted on the basis of an enterprise value quote of 120-130 million euros, including debt, which was 90 million euros as of June 30, 2024. Presidio was followed by Deloitte and Hogan Lovells, while Setti was assisted by Deutsche Bank and Unilegal. The current sports structure will remain unchanged: Setti will have a multi-year appointment; Sports Director Sean Sogliano will be confirmed; and the new CEO will be Italo Zanzi. According to reports, representatives of the U.S. fund met with the Mayor of Verona, Damiano Tommasi, to submit the project, which includes the demolition of the current stadium, which would be rebuilt on the same site. In the meantime, the club would play in a temporary 20,000 spectator facility. The project could strongly interest Tommasi, who is working for Verona to be chosen as one of the venues for the 2032 European Championships.
