Palladino named 'Philadelphia Coach of the Month' for February
Award Ceremony Set for Saturday at the New Balance Arena
Tomorrow, Saturday 7 March, ahead of Atalanta's home match with Udinese, head coach Raffaele Palladino will be presented with the "Philadelphia Coach of the Month" award for February, the prize established by Lega Serie A and awarded each month to the league’s standout manager.
Over the course of February, Atalanta picked up a draw against Como before stringing together three straight wins over Cremonese, Lazio and Napoli.
That run was further bolstered by qualification for the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, secured over two playoff legs against Borussia Dortmund, as well as the quarter-final win over Juventus in the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa.
The prestigious award will be presented in the pre-match build-up by Club President Antonio Percassi alongside a representative from Philadelphia.
