Venezia 2-1 Udinese: Kike Pérez Strike Ruins Zanetti's Managerial Debut
World Sports · 00:06:07 - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

Venezia secured a 2-1 victory over Udinese in Serie A on Friday, with Kike Pérez scoring a spectacular goal that spoiled Paolo Zanetti's first match in charge of the visitors.

The result marks a disappointing start for Zanetti, who took over as Udinese manager ahead of the November 6 fixture at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo. Pérez's standout strike proved decisive as Venezia claimed all three points in front of their home supporters.

Udinese will look to regroup quickly under their new leadership, while Venezia celebrate a valuable win in the Italian top flight.
