Atalanta assistant coach Gritti delighted reaching Coppa Italia final

Atalanta assistant coach Tullio Gritti was delighted reaching the Coppa Italia final.

Wednesday's 4-1 rout of Fiorentina sees them reach the final 4-2 on aggregate.

Gritti sat in for the suspended Gia Piero Gasperini and said: “I think it is in the DNA of this Atalanta side, why should we choose out of three tournaments? After all, who says if you choose one, then it will go well? These wonderful players manage to put in great performances every three days, whenever you think they reached their peak, they top it.

“It is a fantastic moment for us, we will enjoy it and hopefully something will come at the end of it. Right now, we have no intention of stopping."

He added: “If you look at the games against Liverpool, where all of Europe recognised us, that is worth something. Naturally, a trophy would be great too, but what Atalanta have been doing over the last eight years is remarkable.

"All the staff, the players who came through this team, they all left their mark."
