Mourning the passing of Giambattista Negretti
The Club's condolences
With great sorrow, Atalanta announce the passing of Giambattista Negretti: holding the position of Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors of the Club for over fifty years since 1967, his departure leaves an incommensurable emptiness.
Deeply moved, the whole Club, from President Antonio Percassi, CEO Luca Percassi, the Director General, the Chairman of the Board, the Statutory Board, and the executives to all the Atalanta employees remember with love and emotion his outstanding professional and human skills, a staple of his working ethos throughout his tenure at Atalanta.
"Touched and saddened, we are close to the family and loved ones of Doctor Negretti - President Antonio Percassi emotionally stated -. Not only do Atalanta painfully lose a spotless and esteemed professional, but foremost a die-hard fan at heart".
His profound knowledge of administrative issues regarding the sporting world, with football in particular, will be deeply missed, in addition to his invaluable advice, always conveyed with deep wisdom and sympathy, which played a key role in the hardest and most delicate moments in the history of the Club.
