Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio is an Italian professional football club based in Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy. The club was founded in 1907 and it currently competes in Serie A, the top tier of the Italian football league system. Since the establishment of a unified league structure in 1929, Atalanta has spent a total of 62 seasons in Serie A, 28 seasons in Serie B, and one season in Serie C.[1]
Throughout its history, Atalanta has had a total of 59 managers, including player-managers, assistant managers acting as head coach, and caretaker managers. Thirteen managers were in charge on multiple occasions.[2] The club hired its first professional coach, Cesare Lovati, in 1925,[3] and the current head coach is Gian Piero Gasperini. Atalanta's only managers to win a major trophy were Paolo Tabanelli, under whom the club won the Coppa Italia in 1963, and current manager Gasperini, under whom the club won the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League.[4][5]
