🇮🇹 Rafaelle Palladino takes charge at Atalanta

Atalanta has a new coach. The Bergamo club has officially announced the signing of Rafaelle Palladino, who takes on the challenge of reversing the delicate situation the team is experiencing in Serie A. The former Fiorentina coach has signed for the remainder of the current season and is committed to the 'Dea' until June 2027.
The decision to look for a new leader on the bench comes after the recent dismissal of Ivan Juric. The Croatian coach was fired last Monday after a persistent run of poor results was confirmed, which has sunk the team in the league standings. The club’s directors hope that the change will generate an immediate reaction.
Currently, Atalanta occupies a disappointing 13th place in the Serie A table. This position is far below the expectations of a club that regularly aspires to European spots. The poor run of form has been the decisive factor for the management.
With Palladino’s arrival, both the fans and the management expect a change in the team’s playing dynamics and, above all, a return to winning ways. The Italian coach faces the challenge of revitalizing the squad and climbing the ranks in a league as competitive as the Italian one. His previous experience will be key.
Palladino’s contract, which runs until June 2027, reflects the club’s confidence in his medium- and long-term project. The new coach will join training immediately to prepare for the next league fixture.
