The province always offers exciting stories, such as that of Luigi Fresco, known as Gigi. Since 1981 he has been the coach and president (“now only honorary”) of Virtus Verona, the city’s third team born in the Borgo Venezia district, which he brought from the third category to Serie C: 42 years on the same bench. They call him the Ferguson of Italy “and I really like him, I’d be happy to meet him one day. However I almost doubled him, my story is more like the Auxerre coach”. Already. Fresco is on the podium in the world history of the longest-serving coaches on the same bench.
