Atalanta Release Tony D’Amico as Serie A Director Shuffle Clears Way for Roma Move
Roma's push for a coach‑led structure under Gian Piero Gasperini is forcing a rapid rework of transfer plans before the club's June 30 financial deadline.
Overview
- Atalanta confirmed it had mutually terminated Tony D’Amico’s contract, a step that frees him to join Roma after four years at the Bergamo club.
- Reports say D’Amico is ready to become Roma’s sporting director and has been linked to a two‑year deal, though the club has not yet issued a formal announcement.
- Cristiano Giuntoli is reported to be Atalanta’s intended replacement and is expected to work with incoming coach Maurizio Sarri, who left Lazio by mutual consent.
- Roma are also expected to replace Frederic Massara as part of the reorganisation and have targeted Atalanta’s head of medical services to reunite with Gasperini at the capital.
- The moves form a domino across Serie A that could reshape head‑office control and player plans, increasing pressure on clubs to finalise sales and signings before end‑of‑June financial deadlines.
