The plan has changed! Goddess Bergamo has a high salary to keep Ka-gong! The meritorious coach publicly rejects Rome s invitation

On May 19, according to well-known Italian journalist Skira, Atlanta provided a "2+1" contract renewal contract to the team's meritorious coach Gasperini, which can expire as long as the summer of 2028. At the same time, Atlanta also increased Gasperini's salary and benefits, which was full of sincerity.

This season is neither a success nor a failure for Atlanta. Last summer, the club made a big signing, but the team failed to go further in the Champions League, and the league also fell out of the championship group at the last moment. However, Atlanta is now firmly in third place and has qualified for the Champions League next season. Being able to continue participating in the Champions League has injected strong confidence into the team.

Compared with the ups and downs in the team's performance, the locker room atmosphere may be the real trouble. This season, Gasperini had a conflict with the team's forward core Lukeman, and the two even had a conflict between each other in the air. The club management did not stand on Gasperini's side at the beginning, which made the coach very dissatisfied and publicly stated that he would leave the team at the latest after the contract expires next summer. The club management responded strongly to the old coach, saying that he was obedient and respectful.

At this time, many teams threw out olive branches to Gasperini, such as Juventus and Roma. Roma, in particular, attaches great importance to Gasperini's ability to train stars and transform the team, so Friedkin intends to let the Canadian Kwok take over Ranieri.

Just as things got worse, Atlanta's 71-year-old chairman Antonio Percassi stood up. He supported Gasperini in public and sincerely tried to retain the meritorious coach. With the mediation of Antonio Percasi, the conflict between Gasperini and the club's management gradually resolved. The old coach also met Lukeman and smiled and wiped out his grudges. The two hugged each other sincerely on the field and forgave each other.

In the last few games of the season, Atlanta performed well, defeating teams with great strength such as Bologna, AC Milan, and Roma to consolidate their rankings. It was at this time that the club management sent a contract renewal to Gasperini. They graciously tried to keep Gasperin in hopes that he could continue to lead the team.

Almost at the same time, Gasperini publicly stated in an interview with the media that he would not coach Rome. Gasperini did not directly refuse to stay in Atlanta. He said that he and the club still have a contract, and they have a mature sense of tacit understanding. Now the team needs to consider the future, and maintain financial health and ensure results. This is not an easy task.

It is obvious that it can be seen from Gasperini's words that he does not reject continuing to stay in the Blue Arena. After all, both the old chairman and the management have given enough face to the public. The main controversy between the two sides now may be the team's future plan. If the club wants to maintain financial health, it must increase revenue and reduce expenditure, sell some players, and clean up some redundancy. Streamlining the lineup will inevitably affect the team's multi-line battle. After leading the team to the UEFA Cup, Gasperini also wanted to start an attack on the league and the Champions League. He needed a strong lineup team to support his ambitions.

If Atlanta and Gasperini can find a balance point that maintains both financial health and strong team rosters, then Gasperini will most likely remain in Atlanta, after all, he also has deep feelings for it. In the Serie A arena where old coaches are becoming increasingly rare, the existence of Canadian clubs may be a blessing for fans.
