Atalanta team is starting over with a Europa League spot secured at the expense of Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen and a renewed sense of enthusiasm. The key word is continuity, as Gian Piero Gasperini remains at the helm, having led the team to remarkable heights in recent years.
The squad is bolstered by the confirmation of Charles De Ketelaere and the attacking threat posed by other forwards. The addition of a talent like Nicolò Zaniolo in that area will increase both quality and competition.
The upcoming season promises to be intense and filled with key fixtures for Atalanta. On August 14, they have a historic appointment: Gasperini's team will compete for the UEFA Super Cup against Carlo Ancelotti's formidable Real Madrid, the Champions League winners against Borussia Dortmund, at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland.
The league debut, however, will be on August 19 at Via del Mare against Lecce. In the third matchday, Atalanta will face a direct confrontation with the Italian champions Inter at San Siro before the international break. Napoli-Atalanta is scheduled for the eleventh matchday on November 3. December begins with a challenging start, featuring matches against Roma and Milan on the fourteenth and fifteenth matchdays. Lazio and Juventus will be the opponents around the turn of the year from 2024 to 2025.
