Former Fiorentina midfielder Antonio Di Gennaro insists his Atalanta can win the Scudetto this season.
Di Gennaro says La Dea must be considered among the title contenders.
He said: "In Bergamo there is excellence in technical and managerial roles and this team is no longer a surprise for anyone.
"Impossible not to put them among the favourites also because they have become a more mature team, which manages and suffers less."
Atalanta currently sit fourth on the table, five points behind leaders Napoli.
