Italian coach Maurizio Sarri has officially taken the helm at Atalanta, signing a three-year deal with the Bergamo-based club. The announcement follows Sarri's departure from Lazio, where he spent a notable period leading the team.

Sarri, 67, boasts a decorated career with over 800 matches managed. His trophy cabinet includes the Europa League title secured with Chelsea in the 2018-2019 season and a Serie A championship with Juventus in the 2019-2020 campaign. His previous coaching stints include leading Napoli, where he set a club record for points in a single season with 91 in 2017-2018.

At Lazio, Sarri guided the team to the Coppa Italia final this season and achieved a second-place finish in Serie A during the 2022-2023 season. He also led them to the Champions League round of 16 in the 2023-2024 season. The club highlighted Sarri's "trajectory marked by a defined playing style and a strong identity transmitted to his teams."

Sarri inherits the managerial position from Raffaele Palladino. Palladino took over mid-season during a challenging period for Atalanta but managed to improve the team's performance and secure qualification for the Conference League.
