Atalanta faces pressure over Maurizio Sarri's coaching tenure

Atalanta is experiencing a difficult start to the Serie A season under manager Maurizio Sarri, leading to speculation regarding his future. The club currently sits in eleventh place with nine points, following a period of poor form that includes four defeats in their last five matches.

Recent losses to Roma, Cagliari, Juventus, and Milan have intensified scrutiny of Sarri's tactical approach and the team's struggle to find consistency. While the club management has not officially confirmed any decision to replace him, names such as Stefano Pioli and Igor Tudor have been mentioned as potential alternatives.

Individual player performance is also under the spotlight, specifically regarding Charles De Ketelaere. The Belgian attacker has struggled to adapt to Sarri's tactical requirements, having been moved from a central striker role to the right flank. De Ketelaere has yet to record a goal or an assist this season, contributing to the team's overall difficulties in transitioning from the previous era under Gian Piero Gasperini.
