Nobody saw this coming: Madrid Star Luka Modric has been appointed as the manager of this shocking Italian club after leaving Real Madrid

 


In a stunning turn of events, Luka Modric, one of Real Madrid’s greatest icons, has taken his first steps into football management—not in Spain, but in Italy. The Croatian legend, after officially leaving Real Madrid, has been confirmed as the new head coach of Serie A side Hellas Verona.

The announcement came just 72 hours after Modric’s emotional farewell at the Santiago Bernabéu, leaving fans and pundits in disbelief. Many expected him to retire or join Madrid’s coaching staff, but instead, he chose a bold new challenge in Serie A with a struggling club. Modric’s final match for Real Madrid was a 2-0 victory over Real Sociedad, but the focus was entirely on his farewell. The 39-year-old received a standing ovation, with fans and teammates alike moved by his heartfelt speech. His departure marked the end of an era for Los Blancos.

Rumors of Modric’s next move began when he was spotted at Milan’s Malpensa Airport. Speculation swirled about potential roles at AC Milan or Inter, but the truth was far more surprising. Hellas Verona, who narrowly avoided relegation last season, had secretly negotiated with Modric for weeks. Club president Maurizio Setti hailed Modric’s appointment, calling him a “symbol of football done the right way.” The midfielder reportedly turned down lucrative offers from Qatar and MLS, opting instead for a tough but rewarding project in Europe.

Modric’s first task will be transforming a relegation-threatened squad into a competitive Serie A side. His debut match, a preseason friendly against Fiorentina, is already being dubbed the start of “The Modric Era” in Italian football. Former Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, who also departed the club, praised Modric’s football intelligence, predicting he would become a great coach.

Meanwhile, Hellas Verona’s players, including captain Marco Faraoni, expressed excitement at learning from a Ballon d’Or winner. As Modric begins this unexpected chapter, the football world watches closely. From war-torn beginnings to Champions League glory, his career has been defined by overcoming odds. Now, as a manager, he faces his biggest challenge yet—and once again, nobody saw it coming.
