As previously announced and expected - Mauricio Sarri is the new coach of Atalanta.

This was confirmed in a statement by the club from Bergamo, which also features Montenegrin striker Nikola Krstović.

"Atalanta is pleased to announce that the leadership of the first team has been entrusted to Maurizio Sarri, whose illustrious career includes managing over 800 matches as a manager, as well as a series of trophies including the Europa League and the Scudetto," the "goddess from Bergamo" said in a statement.

Sarri joins Atalanta from Lazio, who led them to the Coppa Italia final last season. The 67-year-old has managed a number of clubs in his long coaching career. He has had his greatest successes with Chelsea and Juventus. He led the Blues to the Europa League trophy in 2019, while he won Serie A with the Old Lady a year later.

After Gian Piero Gasperini left in June last year, Atalanta hired Ivan Jurić. The Croat did not live up to expectations and was sacked after just five months.

He was succeeded by Rafaele Paladino, who brought the season to an end. Atalanta eventually managed to qualify for the Conference League by winning 7th place in Serie A, but this obviously did not satisfy the board, who decided to thank Paladino.
