Atalanta director Luca Percassi has paid tribute to coach Gian Piero Gasperini and his players.
La Dea meet AC Milan in today's season finale having already secured Champions League qualification.
I personally asked the coach if I could hold the press conference on behalf of the club, because it feels right to speak at the end of another extraordinary season," said Percassi.
“We wish to thank everyone from the heart for all they've done, the coach and the players. They achieved something extraordinary."
He continued: “If we look at the last year, which was basically a season-and-a-half, we reached the Champions League quarter-finals with PSG, played the Coppa Italia Final and have many reasons to celebrate for a small-medium club that is becoming a regular in European football.
“Everything we are doing is the fruit of hard work, which we must never take for granted. We know what it means to compete in Serie A, we're proud of what we are doing and see no negatives. We know who we are.
“We are talking about a very competitive Atalanta, and facing a strong Milan side already knowing we have the Champions League qualification locked down makes us very proud. Having said that, we will give our all tomorrow. Atalanta will play like Atalanta."
