Gasperini and Atalanta continue together until 2025. The confirmation comes directly from the club’s management.
After months of speculations, the extension for one year beyond the previous contract has been officially announced, eliminating the original expiration set for 2024.
BACKGROUND OF THE AGREEMENT Initially, the contract was set to expire in 2024 with an optional clause for 2025. However, both the club and the coach decided to confirm the extension directly until 2025, without any additional clauses. The intent of both parties was clear: to avoid the uncertainty of a coach with an expiring contract.
REFLECTIONS ON THE COLLABORATION The decision to extend the agreement was made after a series of key meetings. In June, significant figures from the club, such as President Antonio Percassi, CEO Luca Percassi, and Sporting Director Tony D’Amico, discussed the matter with Gasperini. Steve Pagliuca and his son Joseph, both prominent figures in the club’s ownership, were also present.
A SUCCESSFUL CAREER Since joining Atalanta in 2016, Gasperini has solidified his place in the club’s history. With the new agreement, he will have completed nine seasons with the Nerazzurri, a milestone matched only by Giovanni Trapattoni with Juventus.
Gasperini is not only recognized for his contribution in Bergamo but also on the European stage. In addition to the on-field successes, the Piedmontese coach ranks as the fourth longest-serving coach in Europe, alongside illustrious names like Guardiola, Streich, Simeone, and Klopp.
Gasperini’s renewal with Atalanta underscores the mutual trust and respect between the coach and the club. It is a clear sign of the desire to continue on a path of success and stability.”
