1986–87 Hellas Verona season

Hellas Verona F.C. came back strongly following its disappointing defence of the 1985 Serie A crown, with a fourth place and European qualification. A notable signing prior to the season was former World Cup hero Paolo Rossi, who spent his final footballing season at Hellas, scoring four goals.
