more or less the same management has been in place since 2010. while their youth sector has been excellent before gasp already, their first team got relegated, returned to serie a, then finished between 11th and 17th place before gasp. with gasperini, they finished 4th in his first season and achieved european qualification with the exception of one single season. their ranking always were better than their comparative financial power. now they are around top5 which is due to their cl revenue only
yes, they are a well managed club. but saying that atalanta wouldn't be a regular top3 italian club without gasp isn't a stretch at all
looks like conte is the only one who's close to being any kind of certainty. gasp is a good coach
