ADICOSP Gran Galà del Calcio: Tony D'Amico presented with the award for Best Sporting Director

A prestigious accolade for Atalanta's Sporting Director Tony D'Amico, who was presented with the "Franco Janich" award for Best Serie A Sporting Director for the 2023/24 season by ADICOSP (the Italian Association of Sporting Directors and Collaborators) president Alfonso Morrone at the Gran Galà del Calcio ceremony yesterday. The recognition further lionises Atalanta's standout campaign, both domestically and internationally, highlighted by the UEFA Europa League triumph. An award Director Tony D'Amico received four years ago for his work in the 2019/20 campaign.

Named after the Friulan midfielder who also donned the Atalanta shirt on 38 occasions across three seasons between 1955 and 1958, the award was presented at the gala ceremony held on Monday 5 May in Rome.

"Last season was a remarkable and unforgettable one because it culminated in an incredible achievement, as extraordinary and historic as winning the Europa League," said the Nerazzurri Sporting Director. "But this season has also been outstanding, and qualifying for the Champions League for the fifth time in the last seven seasons would be another great milestone because it would be a sign of continuity that cannot be taken for granted. That is why, since we are not there yet, we are all concentrating on the last three games, starting with the next one, which is very difficult, against a Roma side that are in great shape."
