May 23 (Bloomberg) - In the much-anticipated
UEFA Cup
In the finals.
Atlanta
With a 3-0 win over Leverkusen, Atlanta successfully won the UEFA Cup. This is not only the first UEFA Cup title in Atlanta's history, but also the first title in manager Gaspérini's coaching career.
Gaspellini's coaching career began in 1994, when he started his coaching career with the Juventus youth team, and in 2003, he officially became the head coach of the Crotone club, and since then, he has coached teams such as Genoa, Inter Milan, and Palermo, etc. In the summer of 2016, Gaspellini took over Atalanta, and has been in charge of the team since then.
Since 2003, Gasperini's coaching career has spanned 21 years, during which he has been unable to reap the rewards of his repeated defeats. However, at the age of 66, he finally celebrated the glorious moment of his career today, leading Atalanta to win the UEFA Cup.
This victory not only wrote a new chapter in the history of Atlanta FC, but also painted a colorful picture for Gasperini's coaching career. The old Italian manager's persistence and hard work finally got its due reward today.
