Turin, 1 June (LaPresse) – "Dearest Coach, ours has been a wonderful story, unique and rare in the world of football. Nine exceptional and intense years in which we have achieved extraordinary results in Italy and Europe. A page, or rather a huge chapter, that will remain indelible in the history of Atalanta, as will the (deep) affection and (sincere) esteem that have bound us and will continue to bind us, regardless of the fact that our professional paths are now diverging." Atalanta bids farewell to Gian Piero Gasperini, who will leave the Bergamo club this summer to embark on a new adventure with Roma. ‘We can never thank him enough for the emotions he has given us and for the joys we have managed to bring to Bergamo and our fans, going beyond the imaginable,’ continues the Lombardy club. "After so many years together, we felt it was only right to respect his desire to seek new challenges, knowing full well that our relationship will never end and that our mutual respect will never waver. Thank you again and forever, coach!"
