Gigi del Neri has confirmed he's leaving Atalanta at the end of the season.

"It's not true that I have received an offer from another team," the coach insisted.

"I am leaving simply because there is a difference in objectives between myself and the club.

"I said that I didn't want to fight for survival but for other goals and so I will either go elsewhere or take a year out.

"My relationship with the city and the fans was fantastic and I had a great time over the last two years."
