Overview
- Multiple witnesses say Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi verbally confronted Roma sporting director Tony D’Amico after Saturday’s Roma–Atalanta match and that stewards and police stepped in to restore calm.
- AS Roma issued a firm statement condemning Percassi’s conduct, expressed full support for D’Amico, and said it will submit the case to the sport-justice bodies for review.
- Atalanta replied by rejecting Roma’s characterisation of the incident and said the club is ready to cooperate with any sporting-justice investigation.
- FIGC prosecutor Giuseppe Chiné has opened a file to evaluate evidence and will summon the principals and witnesses for formal interviews.
- The episode follows months of tension over D’Amico’s summer move from Atalanta to Roma and raises reputational and governance questions because Percassi also serves as a Lega Serie A vice-president.
