Lookman Shines in Atalanta’s Win as Gasperini Claims Manager of the Month Award
Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini and winger Ademola Lookman proudly showcased their recent accolades before their team’s Serie A clash with Empoli on Sunday night.
Gasperini, who has been at the helm of Atalanta since 2016, was recently named Serie A Manager of the Month for his exceptional leadership, guiding the team through a successful run in the league.
Meanwhile, Lookman, the Nigerian international who has been in fantastic form, was awarded the prestigious African Footballer of the Year title just last week, cementing his status as one of the continent’s brightest talents.
The duo’s celebrations were made even sweeter when Atalanta secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over Empoli.
Lookman was once again instrumental in the win, scoring Atalanta’s second goal in a match that showcased the team’s attacking flair and resilience.
So far this season, Lookman has been in excellent form, with 11 goals and 5 assists in 19 appearances across all competitions, a testament to his growing influence in Atalanta’s attacking setup.
His performances have been a key factor in the team’s impressive run in Serie A, where they’ve now won their last 11 league games.
Atalanta’s success this season has made them one of the standout teams in Italy, and Lookman’s performances have certainly added to the excitement surrounding the club.

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
