Part 7/8:
As observers closely analyze this narrative, there’s consensus about the rarity of finding a coach who could replicate Gasperini's impact on Atalanta. His ability to move players on at a profit and cultivate talent has been exceptional, turning relatively unknown figures into successful prospects. However, the stakes are different as one transitions to larger clubs.
The well-documented failures of former rising stars after leaving Atalanta emphasize the difficulties any coach faces at big clubs. The recent struggles of players, including Rasmus Hojlund, exemplify the potential pitfalls of such transitions — illustrating that once players leave Gasperini’s tutelage, they often fail to live up to expectations.
