He had been with La Dea for four years, during which they won the Europa League, but was eager for a new adventure.

Although he had also been linked with Milan, the deal was already done for Roma , where he will reunite with former Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

D’Amico’s place in Bergamo will instead he taken by ex-Juventus and Napoli director Giuntoli, who will work with incoming coach Maurizio Sarri.
