Gian Piero Gasperini arrived at Atalanta in 2016 with one aim: avoid relegation to Serie B.
Since then, he secured them European football in 6 of the 8 seasons and developed them into a competitive Serie A side.
One of Europe's finest coaches! 🇮🇹👏 (1/5) x.com

This season, they are 1 point off leaders Napoli. 13 games unbeaten and also 5th in the UCL league phase.
De Ketelaere is revived under Gasperini, Hien is performing well and Retegui is Serie A's top scorer... this is just a fraction of his work.

Gasperini is such a resourceful manager. Combo of savvy recruitment + good coaching is a recipe for success.
2019/20 is a great example. The attacking trio of Muriel, Zapata and Ilicic was outstanding.
This helped Atalanta break a record of 98 goals in a Serie A season. (4/5) x.com

Gasperini has also lost some important players over his time with Atalanta. Several times he has basically been forced to rebuild his side.
