Taking over the reins at the Gewiss Stadium is no small task, given the club’s consistent overperformance in recent years. However, Sarri’s recent track record at Lazio suggests he remains a top-tier operator.
In Rome, he led the Biancocelesti to a second-place finish in 2023 and reached the Champions League knockout stages, while also reaching a Coppa Italia final last term.
The Atalanta hierarchy, led by the Percassi and Pagliuca families, believe Sarri is the right man to maintain the club’s European trajectory. “The Percassi family, the Pagliuca family and the entire Club extend a warm welcome to Mr. Maurizio Sarri to the Nerazzurri family,” the official announcement continued, highlighting the unity behind the decision to appoint the Napoli-born coach.
