Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini has declared AS Roma as serious contenders for the Serie A title following their impressive performance in Manchester. Speaking to Football Italia on November 7, 2026, Gasperini emphasized that Roma are firmly in the mix for the Scudetto race.
The veteran coach highlighted Roma's recent display in England as evidence of their quality and competitive level. While specific match details were not disclosed, the reference to Manchester suggests a notable European fixture against either Manchester United or Manchester City.
Gasperini's assessment carries weight given his extensive experience in Italian football and Atalanta's consistent Champions League qualification under his leadership. Roma's form in both domestic and European competitions will be closely watched as the season progresses.
