This will have the Verona faithful excited: spiker Robert Kromm is back under Bagnoli’s orders after a season away. Born in 1984, Kromm had played in Verona in 2009-10 before going to Russia at Ural Ufa.

“I am extremely happy to be back in Verona – said Kromm – I am obviously satisfied to be back in Italy, in this prestigious and great league, and I am proud to do so with the Verona shirt on again”.
