<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\nGian Piero Gasperini has confirmed his departure from Atalanta, as reports suggest he has agreed to join their Serie A rivals Roma.<\/p>\n
Gasperini took the reins in Bergamo in 2016, having had two spells with both Genoa and Palermo, around an underwhelming stint at Inter.<\/p>\n
Having finished 13th in Serie A in their final season before Gasperini arrived, Atalanta only once finished lower than seventh in nine campaigns under him.<\/p>\n
They made the top four \u2013 qualifying for the Champions League \u2013 on six occasions, finishing third for the third time under him in 2024-25.<\/p>\n
Gasperini also oversaw a famous Europa League final victory against Bayer Leverkusen last year, with Ademola Lookman\u2019s hat-trick guiding them to a 3-0 win over a team that was previously unbeaten across all competitions that season.<\/p>\n
In all competitions, Gasperini oversaw 439 games with Atalanta, winning 228, drawing 102 and losing 109 for a 51.9% win rate. They scored 852 goals in those matches while conceding 513.<\/p>\n
Gasperini\u2019s exit does not come as a surprise, as he stated back in February that he would not renew his contract, which was due to expire in June.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t possible to express this before; only in the last few hours have I really decided to put an end to this wonderful nine-year-long story. But let\u2019s not say goodbye, I don\u2019t like that,\u201d he told Atalanta fans via the Italian newspaper l\u2019Eco di Bergamo.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve managed to achieve some unquestionably extraordinary results. I would have liked to do more. I didn\u2019t succeed, but we still celebrated a lot together, and I\u2019m sure you will do it again.\u201d <\/p>\n
Atalanta\u2019s Europa League success last year was just the second major trophy in their history, after they lifted the Coppa Italia in 1963.<\/p>\n
La Dea lost three Coppa Italia finals under Gasperini, going down to Lazio in the 2019 showpiece and losing to Juventus in both 2021 and 2024.<\/p>\n
Gasperini is unlikely to be out of a job for long, as Italian media reports suggest he is set to join Roma, with Claudio Ranieri retiring from coaching and moving into an upstairs role.<\/p>\n
Roma had previously been linked with Jurgen Klopp and Erik ten Hag, having come to the end of Ranieri\u2019s third stint in charge.<\/p>\n
Ranieri boasts a 59% win rate in charge of the Giallorossi in Serie A (58\/99), with Luciano Spalletti the only other permanent coach to match that ratio in their top-flight history. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
