Atalanta coach to Liverpool? A well-known insider assessed the possibility of Gasperini's move

At the press conference before the return leg against Liverpool, Atalanta head coach Gian Piero Gasperini said that he was pleased with rumours that he was being considered as Jürgen Klopp's successor at the Merseysiders. These rumours have been assessed by Fabrizio Romano, who is cautious about the information.

The insider believes that it is no coincidence that these speculations came to light precisely after Atalanta's 3-0 win over Liverpool last Thursday:

"Undoubtedly Gasperini has done a fantastic job at Atalanta recently, so I'm not too surprised that after such a convincing win over Liverpool last week there was speculation in the media about him possibly replacing Klopp, but nothing more.

From what I know, I can say that there are no links between Gasperini and Liverpool. I think they are just linked to Atalanta's super game at Anfield, that's all. Other clubs will also link him with other clubs, but right now I see him at Atalanta," Romano is quoted as saying by the CaughtOffside website.
