The funeral of Osvaldo Bagnoli will be held this afternoon at 3 pm in the basilica of San Zeno Maggiore in Verona, in the presence of Bishop Domenico Pompili. The coach, who led Inter in the nineties, won a historic scudetto in 1985 on the Verona bench.

In the Verona area, initiatives to pay tribute to the late coach are multiplying. The Municipality of Lavagno has decided to honor him with a dedicated monument: the statue will be placed in Piazza dello Scudetto, inaugurated in 2010 precisely in memory of the 1985 triumph.

“We are particularly happy to make this announcement,” said the sports councilor and deputy mayor David Di Michele to L’Arena. “The tribute to mister Bagnoli will preserve over time the memory of a man who, with his example and his successes, has forever entered the history of sport and the hearts of the people of Verona.”
