Hellas Verona vs Roma Prediction
Hellas Verona appointed Eusebio Di Francesco as their manager this season, only to sack him after three league games. Former Juventus assistant, Igor Tudor has been appointed in his place. The Croatian has a tough job in his hands following the footsteps of Ivan Juric.
Roma, on the other hand, have started extremely well under the management of Jose Mourinho. The legendary Portuguese manager looks motivated and confident. There will be inevitable drama as his reign progresses, but for now Roma fans will be happy.
Jose Mourinho takes charge of his 1,000th game as a manager!
