The Working Hands of a Goddess: The Tactics, Culture and Community Behind Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta BC

Fantastic insight into the rise of Atalanta with no stone left unturned. Everything from the foundation, philosophy, tactics and fan base is covered and so much more. This is with out a doubt a must read for any football fan, especially those with a keen interest of Italian football

I thought the book fell into the trap of just going over game by game the history of the chosen subject. I was hoping for a much more in depth look at the tactics of Gasperini and I would have liked to see some insight into the academy at the club. Book a good reason for a fan of the club but not enough depth for a coach .

One of the best football books on a single football club. Tom Underhill encapsulates the essence of Atalanta with skilled writing and intricate detail that keeps you captivated throughout.Atalanta are a club with so much history and layers, and this books brings all of them into focus.Thoroughly recommend it to everyone.

An excellent book describing and detailing the rise of Atalanta in Serie A and Europe. The chapters vary from the foundation of the club, their early years, the philosophy and revolving door of managers, seasons and games in detail, players, tactics and other little nuances which explains their story so well. With each page I found myself become more and more enamored with the club, their fanbase and their playing style. Definitely a side I will be paying more attention to in the future. I had always wondered what was behind their seemingly meteoric rise and this book certainly sated my curiosity. Fantastic reading!
