“From the directors to the technical staff, from the team to every employee, Hellas Verona extends a heartfelt thanks to Luca Toni for these four years together.
“After his success on the pitch, where he was a protagonist with 51 goals, 128 points won in the League and the Capocannoniere title to this year as a director.
“Our paths are diverging but we know that one day they will come together again.”
Club President Maurizio Setti also paid tribute to Toni.
“You were a champion on the pitch who deservedly entered the history of this club, that’s what the numbers say.
“You are a friend and a person with important values.”
