Gasperini, the coach of Atalanta, has a unique philosophy when it comes to football. He believes that attacking is the best form of defense, a concept that has gained popularity across Europe. Despite being initially sacked by Inter for his ideas, Gasperini persisted and developed his own style with Atalanta, leading them to win the Europa League trophy last season.
During a book launch event, Gasperini expressed his belief in the importance of entertainment in football. He emphasized that offering an entertaining style of play not only fills stadiums but also increases the team’s chances of winning. While some prioritize results over quality, Gasperini has always focused on playing attractive football.
Although Gasperini has downplayed Atalanta’s chances of winning the Scudetto, he values surpassing his own limitations and setting new objectives. He acknowledges that football teaches valuable lessons about both winning and losing, pushing individuals to strive for continuous improvement.
When asked about the possibility of coaching in Saudi Arabia for a lucrative sum of money, Gasperini remained uncertain. At 66 years old, he believes it is too early to predict his future decisions. Despite his success with Atalanta, Gasperini remains open to new challenges and opportunities that may come his way.
