Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini joined an exclusive club on Monday as La Dea’s 4-0 win at Lecce saw him pass the landmark of 550 Serie A points with a single club.
Marco Brescianini and Mateo Retegui both scored twice as the Europa League holders got their Serie A campaign off to a flying start at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.
The victory saw Gasperini – who joined Atalanta in 2016 – reach 552 points in charge of the Bergamo club, who he led to a fourth-place finish in Serie A last term.
Only four coaches had previously collected 550 or more points with a single club in Serie A: Helenio Herrera with Inter, Carlo Ancelotti with Milan (both 557), Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus (663) and Giovanni Trapattoni, who collected 770 also with the Bianconeri.
552 – #Gasperini (552 points with Atalanta) became only the fifth coach to collect 550+ points with a single team in #SerieA after: Herrera (557 with Inter), Ancelotti (557 with Milan), Allegri ( 663 with Juventus) and Trapattoni (770 with Juventus). Historic. pic.twitter.com/A9bHzEFY7d
