Hellas Verona Acquired by U.S. Investment Firm
The American investment firm Presidio has acquired 100% of Hellas Verona, marking the ninth Serie A club under U.S. ownership.
Continuing the trend of American firms investing in European football, the Texas-based investment company Presidio has acquired 100% ownership of Hellas Verona, a historic club in Serie A. This acquisition makes Hellas Verona the ninth Serie A club to fall under U.S. ownership or shareholding.
Founded in 1903, Hellas Verona is one of Italy’s oldest football clubs, best remembered for its stunning Serie A title win in the 1984-85 season. Currently, the team is facing challenges, sitting in 17th place in the Serie A standings, and battling to avoid relegation.
Before the acquisition, the club was owned by Maurizio Setti, who has managed the team since 2012. Following the sale, Setti will remain involved with the club as a senior advisor for football operations, ensuring continuity during the transition.
This acquisition highlights the growing interest of American investors in European football, particularly in Serie A. With clubs like AC Milan, AS Roma, and Parma already under U.S. ownership, Hellas Verona joins a growing list of Italian clubs attracting significant American capital.
For Serie A, this influx of investment is seen as an opportunity to improve financial stability and competitiveness on the global stage. Many clubs are leveraging American investments to enhance infrastructure, scouting, and branding, which could pave the way for a resurgence of Italian football in European competitions.
The Presidio group has stated its commitment to long-term growth, focusing on strengthening the team both on and off the pitch. This includes modernizing facilities, investing in youth development, and expanding the club’s global fan base.
Hellas Verona’s future under American ownership will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike. With fresh capital and strategic direction, the club has a chance to regain its footing and aim for greater success in Italian football.
