Osvaldo Bagnoli has died at the age of 91. He was the coach who led Hellas Verona to win the Serie A championship in 1985, the first and only league title in the history of the Venetian club. Nicknamed "the Magician of Bovisa," Bagnoli guided the team to a title that remains one of the most notable cases of a provincial club winning the Italian football championship. The funeral is scheduled for Tuesday.
