Gian Piero Gasperini will be Rome's new coach

According to some reports this evening, Gian Piero Gasperini has decided to join Rome despite Juventu's attempts to convince Atalanta's hopes that he would stay.

The coach had a face-to-face meeting in Toscan with Claudio Ranier, Director Florent Ghisolfi and club owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin, this week. Although there were several questions and he took several days to reflect on his situation, it is now believed that Gasperini has pledged to sign the contract.

Today, there were some doubts after Juventus got involved in the race with an offer after losing his main objective, Antonio Céte, who decided to stay with Naples.

However, Il Tempo, Sky Sports Italy and Fabrizio Romano all report that Gasperini has chosen Rome and is working on the final details of the deal.

Atalanta had also hoped the coach could change his mind and stay in Bergamo after nine years, but he wants a new experience after almost a decade with La Dea.

During that time, he managed to win Europe League, lead the team to the Italian Cup final and secure the qualifications for the Champions League five times in the last seven seasons.
