The well-traveled Del Neri established himself with Chievo Verona from 2000-04 and has also coached Roma, Palermo, Atalanta, Sampdoria, Juventus and most recently Genoa in 2012-13.
Verona's 3-2 loss at promoted Frosinone on Sunday was its third consecutive defeat.
Mandorlini took over Verona five years ago and brought the club up to Serie A from the third division.
Verona finished 10th and 13th in Serie A in 2014 and 2015, respectively.
It's the sixth coaching change in Serie A this season.
