The 2015-16 campaign delivered a devastating season of struggle and heartbreak for Hellas Verona as the Gialloblu crashed to a crushing 20th-place finish in Serie A, resulting in relegation to Serie B. Despite the presence of the legendary veteran striker Luca Toni, who was a joint top scorer with Giampaolo Pazzini with 6 league goals each, the team endured a miserable campaign where they failed to secure their first league victory until after the halfway point. The turmoil also included a mid-season managerial change from Andrea Mandorlini to Luigi Delneri. It was an unforgettable, dark year for the club, marking the end of a three-season stay in the top flight.
