Founded in Bergamo in 1907, Atalanta has grown from a historic local club into one of Italy’s most distinctive football institutions. Its black-and-blue identity, steep Gewiss Stadium atmosphere and renowned Zingonia academy connect the team to the city’s strong civic character. The club’s modern profile combines long-term development, energetic football and a sustained presence in national and European competition. This page brings together the latest team context and a concise account of Atalanta’s place in Italian football.
Atalanta’s recorded squad contains 33 players: five attackers, ten defenders, five goalkeepers and 13 midfielders. The attacking group includes G. Raspadori, G. Scamacca, K. Sulemana and N. Krstović, while the defensive group includes D. Zappacosta, G. Scalvini, I. Hien and S. Kolašinac. M. Carnesecchi, M. Sportiello and P. Vismara are among the goalkeepers. The midfield features C. De Ketelaere, Éderson, L. Samardžić, M. De Roon, Mario Pasalic, N. Zalewski and R. Bellanova, alongside other options. The list reflects the roster recorded on that date.
Ivan Jurić is the latest recorded coaching entry, beginning on 1 July 2025, but the available timeline does not independently confirm a current holder.

Earlier entries record Edoardo Reja from March 2015 to June 2016 and Stefano Colantuono from June 2010 to March 2015.

Atalanta’s listed recent movement is split between incoming reintegration and outgoing movement. The arrivals are led by T. Kristensen’s loan from Udinese and G. Gaetano’s transfer from Cagliari, while many late-June entries are players returning from loan, including T. Bertini, P. Tornaghi, B. Godfrey, D. Maldini and I. Sulemana. The departures include loans for G. Bonfanti, D. Maldini, E. Touré, D. Vavassori and A. Oliveri, alongside recorded transfers involving B. Djimsiti, A. Ceresoli and others. Return-from-loan movements also appear on the outgoing side, including Y. Musah and S. Panada. These entries describe different movement mechanisms rather than a single transfer category. They are a selected recent record, not a complete period, and the listed transactions contain no recorded fees.
Atalanta has recent recorded participation through 2025 in Serie A, Coppa Italia, Friendlies Clubs and the UEFA Champions League. The club also has a UEFA Europa League record running from 2017 through 2023, which is historical in the available competition timeline. Super Cup and UEFA Super Cup participation is recorded for 2024 and is likewise historical rather than recent. The competition history therefore spans domestic league and cup football, European club tournaments, super cups and friendlies, with Serie A and the Champions League forming the latest recorded elements.
Atalanta, officially Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio, was founded in Bergamo in 1907 and remains one of Italy’s most distinctive football clubs. The team’s black-and-blue identity is closely tied to the Lombardy city, where Atalanta is known by the nickname The Goddess. Home matches are played at the Gewiss Stadium, an urban ground whose steep stands and intense atmosphere reflect the club’s strongly local culture.
The club’s history includes long periods moving between Italy’s top division and Serie B, followed by a more established presence among Serie A’s competitive sides. Its recorded participation includes Serie A, Coppa Italia, UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, alongside domestic and European super cups and club friendlies. The recent record extends through 2025 for Serie A, Coppa Italia, club friendlies and the Champions League, while the Europa League entry is historical through 2023. This combination reflects a club that has developed a durable national platform and a growing continental profile.
Atalanta’s football ecosystem is strongly associated with Zingonia, the club’s renowned youth academy and training base. Academy development has long supported a model that combines emerging local talent with carefully recruited players from abroad. That balance has helped Atalanta remain competitive while preserving a clear pathway between youth football and the senior team.
The club’s modern reputation is also linked to high-intensity football, tactical flexibility and a willingness to challenge better-resourced opponents. Governance has historically been associated with the Percassi family, alongside strategic international investment in the club’s wider structure. The result is a distinctive Bergamo institution: rooted in civic pride, recognizable for its colors and stadium, and increasingly established within Italy’s national and European football landscape as of August 2026.
