Scamacca Flourishes Under Palladino’s Guidance

Atalanta and Italy National Team Benefit from Striker’s Resurgence

Italian international Gianluca Scamacca has made a significant impact under the tutelage of Raffaele Palladino at Atalanta, showcasing a remarkable scoring form that has caught the attention of both the club and the Italy national team. In his seven appearances under Palladino, Scamacca has netted five goals, with an impressive goal-to-minute ratio of one every 97 minutes.

Transformation Under Palladino

Scamacca’s transformation under Palladino is a stark contrast to his performance under the previous Atalanta coach, Ivan Juric. Under Juric, Scamacca averaged a goal every 292 minutes, whereas under Palladino, he has significantly improved his scoring rate. This resurgence has also enabled Scamacca to contribute more to the team’s play, with an increase in shots and touches inside the opposing box.

Impact on Italy National Team

Scamacca’s impressive form under Palladino has not gone unnoticed by Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso. Gattuso has been monitoring Scamacca’s progress, and his assistant, Leonardo Bonucci, was sent to watch Atalanta’s match against Chelsea. Scamacca’s goal-scoring record with the Italy national team is still limited, with only one goal in 22 appearances, but his recent form suggests a promising future.

Key Statistics

– Scamacca has scored five goals in seven appearances under Palladino.
