Venezia’s upward trajectory has continued under Vanoli in 2023/24. Vanoli oversaw a significant turn in fortunes last season when he took over, ultimately guiding his team to an eighth-place finish - still below where I Leoni Alati would like to be in the second tier, but a respectable finish given the context of their awful start to the campaign. After taking on his first manager role with Spartak Moscow in 2021/22 - guiding them to Russian Cup glory - Vanoli was called upon to take charge of floundering Venezia in Serie B, with the newly-relegated side having a disastrous start to the 2022/23 campaign which saw them in the relegation zone of the second-tier at the time Conte’s former assistant arrived.
