Atalanta gaffer Gian Piero Gasperini received an award in Coverciano and offered an opening to playing out the final year of his contract rather than leaving in the summer talking to Sky<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope and wish our Champions League qualification isn\u2019t taken for granted. It\u2019s our max objective at this time, even though we tried to bluffed a little about the Scudetto. We did it more to give us a boost and because we were in the mix with nine matches to go. Finishing in the top four would be yet another extraordinary result for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Gasperini was asked about potentially continuing on the Atalanta bench.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll discuss it when and if we\u2019ll achieve our objective. We dropped two points at home that would have meant a lot. We know that our rivals are combative. I\u2019ve never said that I would go but rather than I that I wouldn\u2019t renew my contract, which is a different thing. Our goal is just to qualify for the Champions League now. It\u2019s not something that is born over night but rather in months and years. I\u2019ve a bond with Bergamo and this team. What we have accomplished this season goes beyond what we have done in the past. Sometimes the injured players get forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Gasperini is optimistic Atalanta will land the place.<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe it\u2019ll take more than 70 points, but we\u2019ll evaluate it week after week. There are some head-to-head clashes. If we get the results we should, the others won\u2019t be able to catch us. There la cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of Italian football behind us, but we have a cushion. It\u2019s the most coveted goal for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n
