Looking at these opportunities it seems that the Serie A competition in the new season will have the same pattern as before, two strong candidates are Napoli and Inter and the 3rd position should be Atalanta but they are currently in the wrong hands (Ivan Juric) Grin

so maybe the Atalanta team cannot compete as before and will be replaced by Juventus. I hope Juventus can be much more competitive and especially AC Milan because Milan only focuses on the Serie A competition.

I really cant believe how a team like Atalanta after all the effort made in those years under the Gianpiero Gasperini management they throw all away signing a very bad coach like Ivan Juric, i mean it not make any sense at all, i also cant understand how Ivan can reach this spots, is his manager that good to reach this deals when he never make any team play good?

From what I've read in various media outlets Ivan is considered to have similar playing characteristics to Gasperini. Another likely reason is that Atalanta sporting director, Tony D'Amico, had a strong relationship with Ivan previously. It was likely this relationship that gave management the confidence to entrust him with the coaching position. However with this move we all know that bookmakers no longer position Atalanta as a major contender.
