Atalanta president Antonio Percassi has declared Gian Piero Gasperini is staying.

The coach had cast doubt on staying next season, but is now committed to La Dea for another 12 months.

Percassi said, "He's staying, we're happy about it.

"There's total agreement, but there's no need to renew. Am I happy? A lot, the reasons are still strong."

Next season, Gasperini will mark his eighth year in charge of Atalanta.
