Roma and Atalanta directors involved in heated exchange after thrilling game Serie A side Roma picked up a dramatic 2-1 win over Atalanta on Saturday but after the tie, something chaotic ensued between the two clubs off the pitch. La Dea had led the game for a vast majority of the second half but Roma kept pushing. They got late goals from Matias Soule and Mario Hermoso, turning the tie around in a matter of minutes. Corriere dello Sport – via CM , report that things took an ugly turn between Giallorossi sporting director Tony D’Amico and Atalanta’s CEO Luca Percassi, who worked together for the Bergamo club until last season. Several witnesses and even Roma themselves, confirm that Percassi insulted D’Amico after the tie. The Giallorossi key figure was chased down by his compatriot in the parking lot of the Stadio Olimpico and the matter had to be calmed down by intervention of security. Apart from the game, the two don’t have a pleasant relationship anymore. Percassi wasn’t happy with D’Amico’s decision to push for a Roma move, even though he had already appointed Cristiano Guintoli. It is believed Percassi was the aggressor,  as D’Amico didn’t exactly react to the insults. Kaustubh Pandey – GIFN
