Atalanta and Gasperini closer: "I already have a contract for next season"

Bergamo, 20 May 2025 – And now theAtalanta e Gasperini they seem much closer, ready to write new chapters of the Nerazzurri adventure together after the words spoken by Gasperini on Monday evening on the sidelines of the 2nd Telenord-Gianni Di Marzio Award in Portofino.

Gasperini considers renewal with Atalanta until 2027

“The renewal is not that crucial, I have a contract and last year we signed when the championship had already started. As he said Luca Percassi There is such harmony between us that there will never be problems."

Words that give hope to Atalanta fans but also to the players on the concrete possibility of seeing the coach from Grugliasco back on the Nerazzurri bench next season too: it would be the tenth consecutive, equalling the Trapattoni's record on the Juventus bench from 1975 to 1985.

The fears

The Turin coach explained his doubts last night: “Unlike other years, I think it is more difficult to repeat, it's not so obvious to always do it and this worries me a bit. The championship has been difficult, even Napoli and Inter are drawing in decisive matches, it means that there is balance.

I think more about the points scored than the ones lost. As soon as possible we will try to identify the future of the team because Atalanta must look at the balance sheets, we must see which and how many departures there will be".

Last effort

It is possible that already today, when training resumes in view of the last home match against Parma Sunday evening, there could be a new meeting between Percassi and Gasp, after the first, interlocutory one last Thursday.

The club intends to continue with the Turin coach but without his contract expiring in 2026, for this reason it has proposed a extension until 2027, demonstrating that they want to move forward together. The Atalanta fans are waiting and hoping for white smoke: the fans want Gasp to stay and are demonstrating it by continuing to pay homage to him, with statues, sculptures or plaques.

The tribute

The last one was displayed in the square behind the stadium, which overlooks the Curva Nord, with the writing: “If one day they talk about us, let them say that we walked among giants and lived in the Gasperini era”. And on social media the pro-Gasp mobilization continues in the Atalanta fan groups.
