Happy Birthday to President Antonio Percassi!
A red-marked day at Atalanta
Today marks a very special day at Atalanta: on the 9th of June, we celebrate the birthday of our President Antonio Percassi!
14 years (and counting) have passed since he returned to the helm of the club on 3 June 2010 and it has been quite a journey for Atalanta: from the Club's very own stadium and the development of the Centro Bortolotti, to the undeniable sporting results, such as the fulfilment of the dream of winning a European Cup. Over these many and fruitful years, the Percassi family management of the club has become more and more synonymous with indelible pages of black and blue history that will forever be etched in the memory of all Atalanta fans far and wide.
Many things may have changed ever since 3 June 2010, but Antonio Percassi's determination, just like his passion and the love for the black-and-blue colours have not wavered since his days as a player when he sported the captain's armband, and they have been a pillar of our President's tenure, both in letter and in spirit.
Many happy returns, President, from the whole Atalanta family!
