"I couldn't make up my mind to announce this decision until this past few hours, and I didn't really decide to end this wonderful story of nine years. But I don't want to say 'goodbye' here. I don't like the word. I just ended my experience as the head coach of Atlanta in Bergamo, and everything else will remain the same. Ending my relationship with the club is entirely my personal decision and should not be blamed on the club and its management. I just realized that it was time to take this step. The only thought of my just-concluded season was how to keep Atlanta at the highest point as possible. Now I'm leaving a team that ranks third in the league and qualifies for the Champions League, which will once again compete on the most prestigious stadium in Europe and have a strong set of players who have a strong and fully enhanced value. Lineup. ”

"I have achieved undisputed extraordinary achievements with the club. I hope to do more, but although I failed to do it, we shared so much joy together, and I am sure you will continue to do so in the future. Then, you may ask, why did I leave Atlanta? It is to seek new challenges and generate a brand new passion from this. It is very difficult to make this decision. But coaching itself is a great and exciting challenge, and it brings me endless passion. I promise you that we will see you again in Piazza Pontida! Come on! ”

"Finally, I want to say that I am an honorary citizen of Bergamo, and I swear that no matter where I am, I will always carry forward the supreme values ​​of the city." (End)
