Overview
- Atalanta confirmed Palladino as head coach on a contract running to June 30, 2027, replacing Ivan Juric a day after his dismissal.
- Juric was removed following a 3-0 home defeat to Sassuolo that left Atalanta 13th in Serie A with two wins from 11 matches.
- Palladino’s first match will be away to Napoli after the international break, followed by a Champions League trip to Eintracht Frankfurt.
- The club named a new backroom group including assistant Stefano Citterio and technical collaborator Federico Peluso, and it retained select existing staff.
- Juric’s exit followed a seven-game league stretch without a victory and scrutiny over internal tensions, including a reported touchline clash with Ademola Lookman, as Atalanta targets a return to a high-intensity style.
