Gian Piero Gasperini has received the prestigious title of Serie A Coach of the Month for November, thanks to his flawless performance in both the league and the Champions League. His selection is based on impressive results achieved during matchdays 11 to 14, where Atalanta secured a remarkable streak of victories, including a 3-0 triumph over league leaders Napoli, a 2-1 win against Udinese, a 3-1 victory at Parma, and a significant 2-0 win over Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, even though the latter match was played on December 2.
Despite the fact that European results are not considered for the Serie A Coach of the Month award, it’s worth noting that Atalanta maintained a perfect record in the Champions League during November, with wins over Stuttgart (2-1) and Young Boys (6-1), both achieved away from home.
Currently, Atalanta sits in second place in Serie A, just one point behind Napoli, while Inter trails by three points but has a game in hand. Gasperini is set to receive his award before Atalanta’s upcoming home match against Empoli later in December.
This recognition of Gasperini’s leadership underscores his impact on Atalanta’s success this season, reaffirming the team’s ambitious stature in Italian football. The coach’s achievements inspire optimism among fans as they look forward to continued success in the league and beyond.
