Igor Tudor has left his position as Hellas Verona coach.

In a shock decision, Tudor leaves by mutual consent after an outstanding campaign in charge.

A statement from Tudor read: “A difficult decision because at Verona I found a working atmosphere as well as a fantastic group of players and men who helped me create a perfect symphony with the club, thanks to which we achieved extraordinary results.

“I reflected at length, discussing [my thoughts] with the president, whose frankness and transparency in explaining the plans for next season I appreciated, but both agreed there weren't all of the prerequisites required to continue together on the same road.

“In view of this, it is right that we each go our own way. An affectionate goodbye to the city Verona, where I was very happy and a hug to all the fans who treated me with affection and warmth.

“And the best of luck to Hellas Verona for the future."
