Raffaele Palladino's staff is currently meeting with Atalanta's management to reach an agreement for the arrival in Bergamo of the former Monza and Fiorentina coach, ready to replace Ivan Juric.

Atalanta, Raffaele Palladino new coach: definitive agreement until 2027 for the post-Juric era

Atalanta has identified its new coach: Raffaele Palladino will be the successor to Ivan Juric on the Nerazzurri bench. After several days of negotiations, the parties have reached a complete agreement that includes a contract until 2027. The official announcement is expected shortly, but the foundations of the agreement are now set.

According to sources close to the club, the decisive meeting took place last night, when the Bergamo management resolved the last doubts. “Palladino convinced everyone with his modern and proactive football ideas,” leaks from sources close to the club. “He is the ideal profile to continue Atalanta's growth path,” they add.

A technical project in continuity with the Nerazzurri philosophy

The choice of Palladino reflects Atalanta's desire to maintain an offensive tactical identity, based on high pressing, intensity, and the development of young players. The former Monza and Fiorentina coach will bring to Bergamo a methodical, innovative approach focused on positional play, characteristics that have already distinguished his previous experiences in Serie A.

The Bergamo club is thus betting on a coach capable of combining tactical expertise and group management, with particular attention to the growth of talents from the youth academy.

Palladino's season at Fiorentina

In the last season, Palladino led Fiorentina to an excellent sixth place in Serie A, accumulating 65 points and securing European qualification. His work was appreciated for making the team competitive and for revitalizing several key players.

“Coaching Atalanta represents an exciting challenge,” Palladino reportedly told his collaborators. “It is a club with a clear vision and a solid structure, fundamental elements for building a winning project in the long term.”

What to expect from the new cycle

With Palladino's arrival, Atalanta is preparing to inaugurate a new technical phase, in continuity with the playing philosophy that in recent years has made the team one of the most interesting realities in Italian and European football. The goal will be to consolidate a stable presence in the upper echelons of the standings and maintain competitiveness on the international stage as well.

The official announcement of the new coach is expected in the coming days, when the club will reveal the details of the contract and the technical staff that will accompany Palladino in his adventure in Bergamo.
