What if Gian Piero Gasperini finally stayed on the Atalanta bench? Since eliminating in the Champions League, the Atalanta seems unrecognizable and has been in the internal adventures. From the penalty affair failed by Ademola Lookman to the great announcement of Gian Piero Gasperini on his future, nothing seems to be for the best in Bergamo. As a reminder, the Italian coach had simply seized the pole set by the press to announce his departure from the club. After prolonging his two -season contract last summer, the 67 -year -old tactician should not go for a long time in Bergamo since he already wishes to meet with his management at the end of the season: “There is a start and an end to all things, there will be no extension or continuity. At the end of the season, we will see if it will be the case to leave now or wait for the end of my contract (in June 2026, editor's note) ”. Remarks made last February, but at a press conference on Sunday, Gasperini seems to calm the game, at least for the moment: “We will talk about it when we have won our ticket in the Champions League, if we win it … (…) I have a strong link with Bergamo and Atalanta, and what we have accomplished this year goes even further than the previous ones».
Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini expressed himself again on his future, on the sidelines of the 2nd ceremony for the Telenord-Gianni Di Marzio prize ceremony in Portofino. “”Atalanta has now reached a level of strength and balance that this backlash in the event of departure could certainly not have. Even if it does not mean that I will stay or not, we must sit down and discuss it. The extension is not decisive, I have a contract with Atalanta. As Luca Percassi said (the DG of Atalanta), there is such harmony between us that there will be no problems. Then there is football between the two and, unlike the other years, what Atalanta has done will not be easy to reproduce and that worries me. It is not so obvious. The championship was really difficult, look at Inter or Naples last night. More than thinking about lost points, it is the ones we have taken who convince me of the quality of our championship. We will assess the possibilities. As always, Atalanta must examine the balance sheets and there will be departures, it depends which. It will not be easy to reproduce».
