If Atalanta can always maintain their consistency throughout the season then there is no doubt that Atalanta will be able to compete for the title in Serie A every season. The problem is that Atalanta cannot always play well. They sometimes even experience a decline when the season is in the middle and nearing the end.
And in the coming season I feel Atalanta will have quite a hard time competing at the top. Because they will adapt again to their new coach, Ivan Juric, after they lost their old coach who has now moved to AS Roma.
I think that without Gasperini Atalanta will become a completely different team because in Atalanta's case the coach defined a lot. As for Juric to be honest I am disappointed that Atalanta made a choice in his favor because I consider him a rather weak coach for a team that will play in the Champions League. So I do not expect anything good from Atalanta in the new season.
Ivan Juric becomes Atalanta head coach! Thanks for this update but what is their consideration for choosing a failed coach? Is it because there is no other choice or they don't want to spend big money? I totally agree with you, Atalanta will not look like last season because another factor in a team success is the right coach and Ivan is not that person.
