Atalanta are expected to decide on their new manager within 48 hours. With Ivan Juric, Thiago Motta, Raffaele Palladino and Patrick Vieira among the candidates football.
The decision was made after Gian Piero Gasperini confirmed his departure from Bergamo. Ending a nine-year tenure that saw the club reach the Champions League five times in the last seven seasons and win the Europa League. สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่
Although Gasperini opted to move to Roma, Atalanta needed to find a replacement for him. And tried to find someone with the same footballing philosophy.
That shouldn’t be too difficult, as Gasperini has worked with several coaches in the current Serie A.
His most consistent collaborator is Juric, who was a player at Crotone and Genoa before going on to work alone. Despite coming off a dismal 2024-25 campaign that. Saw him sacked by Roma and Southampton relegated from the Premier League, Sky Sport Italia report that. Juric is rising through the ranks to become the front-runner to take over at Atalanta.
The club’s directors also met with Thiago Motta, who was sacked by Juventus, and Palladino, who left Fiorentina.
Another option is Genoa’s Vieira, although he has attracted interest from Inter Milan as a first-choice alternative to Como boss Cesc Fabregas.
