Let it not be said Gian Piero Gasperini he’s not a winner now. Yesterday evening the coach from Grugliasco and Atalanta entered the history of Italian football, lifting the Europa League, the first international trophy of the Goddess and the technician himself. With a real football lesson to the most popular coach of the moment, Xabi Alonso, and to the team that has expressed the best and most successful football in Europe this season, lived undefeated until last night. Undefeated, yes, before meeting that car that at times seems perfect, with black and blue hues, which has in Gasperini its driver, its leader, its commander. But for how much longer will it be?
Meeting with the club scheduled
Yes, because now the time has come for Gian Piero Gasperini and Atalanta to meet. And decide, together, what to do. Not today, because today is the time for celebration, for the return from Dublin and the embrace of Bergamo. But, according to what our editorial team gathered, the summit between the Piedmontese coach and the management of Goddess, with owner Percassi who will obviously be present, will be staged tomorrow. With their hangover over, Percassi and Gasperini will look each other in the eye and decide what to do: close the cycle after eight years with this Europa League or move forward together and aim even higher?
Naples at the window
There, waiting, as we know, is Napoli. For Aurelio De Laurentiis Gasperini is the first choice, the right man to entrust with the re-foundation after this crazy year. But he will have to be the coach to decide, obviously. Yesterday, after the triumph against Bayer Leverkusen, Gasp he indulged in a metaphor: “Tomorrow we return to Bergamo and we will party. I only regret not having let everyone play enough, and that is why I thank them even more warmly. What if I stay at Atalanta? I’m in a situation where you have a wife with three kids but you find a beautiful woman“. Who knows if this beautiful woman will be able to take him away from his wife.
