Atalanta President Antonio Percassi revealed they are discussing “doubling” the current contract with Gian Piero Gasperini. “We’d be happy to have him as our Sir Alex Ferguson.”

“Let’s finish the season first, then we can think about planning, structure and organisation,” Percassi told Bergamo TV.
