Atalanta’s head coach Gian Piero Gasperini spoke about his plans for the future.
Gian Piero Gasperini, Getty Images“I hope we can qualify for the Champions League. For me, this is the highest achievement for Atalanta, even if we tried to bluff a bit about the Scudetto. This was mainly to give ourselves and the players a boost because we were in a good position with nine games to go.
I have never said that I will leave. I said that I will not extend my contract, and that is completely different. Right now, the only goal is to qualify for the Champions League. This is not something you achieve in one season, but over the years. I have a connection with Bergamo and Atalanta. Sometimes people forget the players we have lost due to injuries. Now we just need to finish the season strongly,” Gasperini is quoted by Football Italia.
