Overview
- Multiple Italian outlets report that Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi confronted and verbally insulted Roma sporting director Tony D’Amico after the match at the Stadio Olimpico, with witnesses saying D’Amico did not respond.
- Stewards and police intervened as Percassi followed D’Amico toward the Monte Mario car-park and tunnel area, according to eyewitness accounts published by several sources.
- AS Roma issued an official statement condemning Percassi’s behaviour and pledged to refer the incident to sporting authorities, while Atalanta rejected Roma’s characterization and said it will cooperate with any inquiry.
- The FIGC prosecutor Giuseppe Chiné has said he will evaluate the evidence and has opened a file to hear the direct participants, making the episode a developing disciplinary matter.
- The confrontation is rooted in known tensions from D’Amico’s summer move from Atalanta to Roma and earlier departures that strained relations, a backdrop that raises the risk of wider institutional consequences for club leadership and league relations.
