Andrea Mandorlini told Verona to focus on tomorrow’s game with Perugia. “The Coppa Italia is an important target.”
The Fourth Round tie kicks off at the Stadio Bentegodi on Tuesday at 20.00 GMT and the winners will go on to face Juventus.
“The Coppa Italia is an important target for the club, so we want to do well and progress in the competition,” said Coach Mandorlini.
A morale boost is certainly needed, as Verona have picked up just three draws from the last seven Serie A games.

“We are a Serie A side, we are not in the best shape, but we must get ourselves out of this negative period by ourselves.
“The Coppa is a way of getting back to winning ways. We really care about this match with Perugia. Like them, we too used to visit the Serie A clubs in these early stages a couple of years ago and were able to hurt our opponents.
“It will be an important test for the whole squad and we want to win.”
Panagiotis Tachtsidis is suspended, but Emil Hallfredsson is expected to start as he will sit out next Monday’s Serie A game with Samp due to a ban.
