Atalanta beat Udinese to go 1 point clear of Roma and 3 clear of Milan and Torino. Their next 4 games are away to Lazio and Juve, and home to Genoa and Sassuolo (not in that order). Hope they can pull it off.

I disagree. Hope they dont.
Not a single time have these Mickey mouse teams done anything in Europe.
They qualify and do t do anything in Europe and force coefficients down.
Its better if teams like Roma inter and Milan qualify.
Inb4 the peasants who tell me how dare I cheer for the Italian scum. But what u dont realize is that u can hope others do well for your own benefit. It's a win win situation for juve.

I get your point, but there are 100 more wrong things about Serie A than European representation. As others said, coefficients are irrelevant. Milan and Inter won't do jack shit either, so might as well be Atalanta.

I don't know who I'd take. Most of them perform not that great once they leave. Their CB Mancini seems like an interesting choice though.

and they are not even reviewing it. 
The only change, if Italians do worse than they were doing in Europe, can happen if France starts doing better.
Right now Italy has 16 coefficient pts more than France, which is huge difference, but from 2019/20 the difference goes down to 8 pts. It's still a low possibility, but if France overtakes Italy, then Italy will have only 2 guaranteed CL spots, and the third team will play CL qualifiers.
France overtaking Italy doesn't seem likely in the next 3 years, but it's possible in 4 or 5 years from now.

An average of 15 pts per year is enough for Italy to stay in top 4. This season Italy got only 12.6, and if they keep doing like this, then the Italians could face problems in 4 or 5 years.
The problem is that only Juventus are doing well enough. Roma and Napoli are just above the required average, but all the others are doing worse than they should. It's actually the Milan teams that should be doing much better.
This is the average pts Italian teams got in the last 5 years (for the coefficient the last 5 years are counted). With 15 pts per season being the needed number for top 4, you can see that most of the Italians can't reach that.
Juventus 124 pts/5 seasons (average 24.8 pts)
Roma 81 pts/5 seasons (average 16.2 pts)
Napoli 80 pts/ 5 seasons (16.0 pts)
------------
Fiorentina 39 pts/3 seasons (13.0 pts)
Torino 13 pts/1 season (13.0 pts)
Lazio 37 pts/3 seasons (12.3 pts)
Inter 31 pts/3 seasons (10.3 pts)
Milan 19 pts/ 2 seasons (9.5 pts)
Atalanta 13.5 pts/2 seasons (6.75 pts)
Sassuolo 4 pts/1 season (4.0 pts)
Sampdoria 1 pt/1 season (1.0 pts)
Basically, Juventus are the only ones keeping Italy in top 4. We are actually doing all these teams a favor to play CL by coming 4th, or even those coming 3rd. Without us, Italy would have been the same as Russia and Portugal, fighting to have 3 teams in CL instead of 2.
To be fair, the same could be said for France, where PSG are keeping them in top 5.

Atalanta had a really nice run in the Europa League last season and were unlucky to be knocked out by Dortmund. Would love to see them in the CL, they’d be a tricky proposition for a lot of teams. They have to keep this team together tho and add one or two quality players as well though, something that a lot of these mid-level Italian clubs don’t do...
