“Atalanta are a worldwide example of a winning and virtuous club model,” he said at the Gazzetta Sports Awards in Genoa on Tuesday.
“There are teams who have different characteristics, but Atalanta have gained a winning mentality now and that is no mean feat. I trust they will be able to handle the pressures that will come during the season.
“They are the hare and we are the hunters. I maintain they are among the prime candidates to win the Scudetto.”
