AS Roma is pleased to announce that as of July 1st, Tony D'Amico will take on the role of Sporting Director of the Club. D'Amico will join Roma after four successful seasons with Atalanta, where he achieved significant sporting satisfaction. The ownership wishes Tony the best for this new adventure in our Club. D'Amico replaces Frederic Massara, who held the position in the previous season. The official announcement of Tony D'Amico was expected as early as Thursday, June 5th, but was delayed due to bureaucratic issues. The final formalities were completed before the official announcement. The sporting director was waiting for the final green light from Atalanta and the Percassi family to close his experience in Bergamo and start what promises to be one of the most exciting challenges of his career. D'Amico now needs to transfer to Trigoria, to the Fulvio Bernardini sports center, to begin his new adventure in the yellow and red colors. Roma is convinced that it has identified in the former Atalanta director a key figure for its future. As anticipated, not just a simple market man, but a technical and strategic reference point destined to have a profound impact on the construction of the new course. Behind this choice is above all the will of Gasperini, who pushed with conviction to find alongside him the director with whom he shared years of growth, intuition, and results in Bergamo. A relationship built on the field, based on mutual trust and a common football vision that today represents one of the main strengths of the operation. Roma wants to restart from certainties and compactness. The understanding between the coach and the sporting director is considered a fundamental element. D'Amico's path at Atalanta: the Europa League won in 2024 is the crowning achievement. Arriving in Bergamo from Verona in the summer of 2022, D'Amico was one of the architects of Atalanta's exponential growth in Serie A and Europe: he inherited the team in eighth place and took it to fifth place in the first year, laying the foundations for winning the Europa League in 2024. He then finished fourth in the 2023/24 season, celebrating with Atalanta the qualification for the Champions League (out in the playoffs against Bruges); he still confirmed and improved in the following season, 2024/25, finishing third (Atalanta eliminated in the round of 16 by Bayern Munich). He leaves Atalanta in Europe, albeit in the Conference League (seventh place).
