The head coach of Atalanta, Gian Piero Gasperini, announced the end of his career period in Bergamo.
“Previously, there was no opportunity to express this, as only in the last few hours have I truly decided to put an end to this wonderful nine-year story. But let’s not talk about farewells. I don’t like that. I am concluding my experience in Bergamo as the coach of Atalanta; everything else remains unchanged.
With the club, we have undoubtedly achieved extraordinary results. I would have liked to do more; I didn’t succeed, but we still shared many joyful moments together, and I am confident that you will do it again.
Why, you may ask, am I leaving Atalanta? Because of the need for new challenges, due to the trust placed in me, and due to the renewed enthusiasm that comes from this. A difficult challenge? Very much so. But we are talking about a great challenge, exciting, which gives me a lot of adrenaline. We will see each other again in Piazza Pontida, I promise!”— reads Gasperini’s statement published on Gianluca Di Marzio’s website.
Additionally, Gasperini will be working as the head coach of Roma. His contract with the Romans is for three years.
