Atalanta co-owner, Stephen Pagliuca claimed head coach, Gian Piero Gasperini ‘made a mistake’ with his comments about Ademola Lookman.
Gasperini publicly criticised Lookman for missing a crucial penalty in La Dea’s 3-1 home defeat to Club Brugge last week.
The veteran tactician described the winger as “one of the worst penalty takers”, a statement Lookman described “disrespectful”.
Pagliuca, however, said the incident has been resolved by the club.
“We want to put this situation behind us, and I think we have, considering the 5-0 victory [against Empoli],” Pagliuca told Gazetta dello Sport.
“He made a mistake by speaking about an individual. At Atalanta, with the Percassi family, we have a policy: if things go wrong, we take responsibility. We look at ourselves and how to improve.”
