Overview
- A late meeting of the Percassi ownership and sporting director Tony D'Amico produced the decision to dismiss Ivan Juric and move for Raffaele Palladino.
- Palladino is expected to sign today, with his first match anticipated at Napoli on 22 November following the international break.
- Strained dressing-room relations, highlighted by a televised clash with Lookman in Marseille, weighed heavily in the board's call.
- Atalanta have not won a league match since 21 September at Torino and sit on 13 points after the latest defeat to Sassuolo.
- The hire aligns with Atalanta's model, as Palladino earned praise at Monza and Fiorentina for raising young players' value and delivering a 65-point season in Florence.
