Gasperini's Roma Debut: A Tale of Two Cities
3 Jan
Summary
- Gian Piero Gasperini returns to lead Roma against his former club.
- He managed Atalanta for nine years, transforming them into contenders.
- His departure from Atalanta may evoke conflicted emotions in Bergamo.

Gian Piero Gasperini is set to manage Roma against his former team, Atalanta, marking a significant moment as 2026 begins. His departure from Atalanta, where he spent nine years, is notable given his success in elevating the club.
Gasperini transformed Atalanta from a lesser-known entity into a consistent top contender and eventual Europa League champions. This remarkable achievement led Roma to appoint him as their manager last summer.
While his return may not carry the same decades-long narrative as Daniele De Rossi's reunion, Gasperini's presence on the opposing sideline is anticipated to evoke a range of emotions among the Atalanta faithful in Bergamo.
