Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi confronts Roma sporting director Tony D’Amico

Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi confronted Roma sporting director Tony D’Amico following Roma's victory over Atalanta at the Olimpico stadium. Witnesses report that Percassi directed verbal insults at D’Amico while the director was leaving the venue. The confrontation, reportedly sparked by frustration over the match result and D’Amico’s recent departure from his role at Atalanta to join Roma, required intervention from police and stadium stewards. Tensions between the two parties existed prior to this incident, as Percassi had previously delayed the transition of D’Amico to the capital club during the summer. Although D’Amico had expressed positive sentiments regarding his time in Bergamo shortly before this encounter, the incident marks a significant breakdown in professional conduct between the two executives following the match.
