Atalanta was one of the teams that surprised me the most this year. I think they did not have a very good squad, but they managed to win very important matches. To be honest, I never expected them to be this good.
Gasperini's influence in this performance is quite high. He had not achieved great success until now, but this year he broke the devil's leg. Now he can be on the radar of big teams, his experience has increased even more

He did an amazing job indeed.
He finished the huge series of Leverkusen which must be 51-match unbeaten. Doing it in the Europa League finale was another thing that deserved respect. Atalanta had no joke truthfully. Defeating Liverpool away with such score was a signal that they wouldn't back down that easy. The same scenario happened against Leverkusen. 
It really looks like Gasperini is on the radar of some teams already. He said there was a Premier League team making an offer. But he doesn't want to leave Italy and Atalanta right now.
But we still never know if an offer comes from another strong Italian team...
Gasperini own contract will end for one more season at Atalanta, or will end in 2025. But indeed, about the big victory that Atalanta got over Liverpool was also indeed a sign. Because after all, when Atalanta beat Liverpool, the fact is that at that time Liverpool were also still at the top of the Premier League standings. But tragically indeed, eliminated from the Europa League and Liverpool also then experienced poor results in the Premier League and lost their place at the top. Therefore, Atalanta's success in getting the Europa League trophy is truly an impressive achievement too ofcourse. Because after all, Atalanta managed to beat Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, because basically Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are two teams that are highly projected to get the trophy, but Atalanta was able to beat them.
