Atalanta have officially announced the departure of long-serving head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, marking the end of an era in Bergamo.

The 66-year-old tactician leaves after a remarkable nine-year tenure, during which he transformed Atalanta into one of Italy’s most dynamic and competitive sides. Under Gasperini, the club reached unprecedented heights — including a historic UEFA Europa League triumph, a Coppa Italia final appearance, and an impressive run of five Champions League qualifications in the last seven seasons.

Gasperini’s progressive style of football and ability to elevate the club beyond expectations has earned him a reputation as one of the most influential managers in Serie A over the past decade.

According to multiple reports, Gasperini is set to take over as head coach of AS Roma, with a contract running until June 2028 expected to be signed in the coming days.
